As the tertiary landscape continues to broaden its focus beyond the ATAR, St Hilda’s remains steadfast in preparing our girls for success in ATAR pathways and an increasing range of alternative pathways that enable them to access tertiary studies and pursue careers they are passionate about.
As a proudly non-selective school, we achieve results that stand among the strongest in the state, driven by the commitment, growth, and dedication of every girl and staff member.
We celebrate our girls’ achievements in academics, community service, sport, music, the arts and personal pursuits. At St Hilda’s, every girl is equipped to shape an extraordinary future.
We intentionally choose not to name individual girls when celebrating Year 12 results, recognising that some girls do not wish for their personalised results to be publicly shared. We respect that these outcomes represent personal achievements rather than a competition, and we honour each girl’s right to privacy and agency.
By focusing on collective lift and cohort growth, we reinforce a culture where success is defined by progress, effort, and value added over time. This approach supports our girls’ wellbeing and ensures that achievement is celebrated in a way that aligns with our commitment to respect for all learners.
And, since 2022, when TISC ceased formally calculating schools’ median ATAR, St Hilda’s, along with other WA schools, has chosen not to publish a median ATAR due to inconsistencies in how schools determine this measure. However, we have continued to track our internal median each year as part of a broader approach to monitoring our girls’ growth and achievement. Importantly, our internal ATAR median has consistently placed St Hilda’s among the top schools in the state since ATAR was introduced in 2010.
While NAPLAN results are simply a snapshot of a student’s performance on a particular day, they do guide us in shaping St Hilda’s teaching and learning programs. NAPLAN is just one of many ways in which St Hilda’s uses data to track improved student outcomes.
Our graduates continue to shine locally, nationally and internationally. We encourage our students to stretch themselves beyond school and explore their interests. Please explore some of our graduate stories.
