For many families, boarding isn’t just a practical choice, it’s the start of something extraordinary. Whether you’re from a regional area, overseas, or simply looking for an experience that goes beyond the everyday, boarding at St Hilda’s offers girls a home where they’re known, supported and inspired to grow. While the idea of moving away can feel daunting at first, many girls quickly embrace life in the Boarding House, forming new friendships and settling into a supportive, family-style environment.
At St Hilda’s, boarders benefit from a strong sense of routine and care. Our newly refurbished facilities, flexible boarding options for regional and urban families, and engaging day-to-day life help create a nurturing space where girls can thrive. With access to academic support, vibrant co-curricular opportunities, and a diverse peer community, your daughter will grow in confidence, independence and connection.
For eligible families, our rural boarding scholarships can help make this experience more accessible, opening the door to a truly life-changing opportunity.
We care for up to 120 girls in Years 7 to 12 who come from regional Australia as well as overseas. Our team of highly qualified staff are dedicated to creating a family atmosphere where girls make friends easily, feel comfortable and relaxed and can establish good study routines.
St Hilda’s recently embarked on a multi-million dollar Boarding House refurbishment.
The refurbishments included a new reception, upgraded bedrooms and bathrooms, an enclosed gym, sound-proof music room, larger communal spaces, a flexible recreation room, and end-of-journey facilities for parents among other improvements.
Our boarders’ commute to school each morning may be small, but their opportunities are far from. High school life as a St Hilda’s boarder is exciting and unique, and we’d love for your daughter to experience it.
We understand that making time to visit boarding schools can be challenging. That’s why we offer personalised tours for boarding families—so you can schedule a visit at a time that works for you, whether it’s between seeding and harvesting or during a break from shearing and mustering.
We warmly invite you to explore St Hilda’s the next time you’re in Perth. Boarding at St Hilda’s is more than just a place to stay, it’s a vibrant, supportive community where your daughter will be known, nurtured and inspired.
Awarded to girls from rural Western Australia, our Boarding Scholarships aim to provide support to students in their pursuit of academic, sporting or cultural enrichment.
