St Hilda’s is a non-selective school that consistently ranks in the top 5 schools for academic results in Western Australia over the last 15 years. Our academic success can be attributed to not only exceptional teaching, but a well-rounded education that provides girls with opportunities to thrive in the subjects and activities they love.
We celebrate our girls’ achievements in community service, sport, music, the arts and other personal pursuits. To every graduate at St Hilda’s, we wish them an extraordinary future.
Since 2022, TISC (Tertiary Institutions Service Centre) has not published school median data in WA, which is why St Hilda’s no longer calculates or publishes a median ATAR.
What is of interest is our longitudinal distribution of Year 12 ATAR scores. Below shows the ATAR trend for students who have graduated from St Hilda’s since ATAR’s inception in 2010.
Our ATAR results over the last 13 years peak convincingly in the 95+ band, meaning that since 2010, more girls have graduated from St Hilda’s with a 95+ ATAR score than in any other ATAR band.
This data informs the strategic growth of our offerings in many ways. For example, this year, we have a record number of students taking ATAR Mathematics Specialists (23 in Year 12 and a further 18 in Year 11), the most challenging ATAR Mathematics course, studied by only 11% of WA students.
These statistics reflect the high work ethic that our girls embrace and their dedication and self-motivation to achieve their best. These are the qualities that position them well for continued success post-schooling. ‘Who’ a St Hilda’s girl becomes is equally as important as ‘what’ she achieves. Her success is unique and diverse, and this is celebrated in partnership with her academic growth. The world needs scientists, artists, engineers, influencers, teachers, ethical hackers, software developers, dancers, doctors, and musicians. These are the future pathways that sit behind our enviable curve.
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.
St Hilda’s students across Years 3 to 9 were placed well above their Australian peers in NAPLAN results in 2024.
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.
