Reconciliation Action Plan
Acknowledgement to Country
The St Hilda’s community respectfully acknowledges the past and present Traditional Owners of the Land on which we stand, the Nyoongar Whadjuk people. Together, we recognise and appreciate the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the education and celebration of all children and people in this country.
Reconciliation Action Plan
St Hilda’s commenced work on our Reconciliation Action Plan in 2021, coinciding with the commencement of our Madalah scholarship partnership. A committee including students, staff, parents and external advisors met regularly to work together through the process, which was published in early 2024.
St Hilda’s has a Reconciliation Committee comprising around a dozen students. Working alongside the Indigenous Coordinator, these girls provide input into Reconciliation Week and the NAIDOC Week celebrations.

Indigenous Scholarships
Indigenous Scholarships are aimed at providing exceptional educational opportunities for Indigenous girls who have the potential to lead and inspire within the community.
Each Indigenous scholarship to St Hilda’s is provided in partnership with the West Australian organisation MADALAH.
MADALAH Limited is a not-for-profit organisation that offers secondary and tertiary education scholarships for Indigenous students, primarily from remote and regional communities, to WA’s leading boarding schools and Australian universities. MADALAH secondary scholarships provide support to students from year 7-12. These scholarships are administered by MADALAH on behalf of the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA). We are a partner school with MADALAH and therefore enrolled students may be eligible. For more information please visit their website – www.madalah.com.au
