Cocurricular

Sport

Junior School sport fosters fitness, strength, coordination, flexibility, and agility while building game skills and knowledge. Students engage in diverse recreational, team, and competitive sports, developing confidence, resilience, and teamwork. These programs create a strong sense of belonging and community, connecting girls across year levels.

As a member of JIGSSA (Junior Independent Girls’ Schools’ Sports Association of WA), St Hilda’s upper primary students compete in various interschool carnivals.

Cocurricular Sport offerings include:

Music

Several choirs, orchestras, bands and ensembles meet every week. Each group is given many performance opportunities in school concerts, chapel services, and numerous events outside of school for the wider community. All students who are enrolled in individual Voice or Instrumental tuition at St Hilda’s are expected to participate in at least one of these groups.

Junior School Music Cocurricular offerings include:

Camerata String Orchestra | Chaminade Flute Choir
Coro Angelico | Guitar Ensemble | Junior Concert Band
String Stars Ensemble | Taiko Drumming Club

Speech and Drama

Speech and Drama is offered at St Hilda’s as part of the cocurricular program for Year 4 to Year 12 students and is taught by specialist teachers from the Speech and Drama Association of Western Australia. Students may progress through the external Speech and Drama exam system (as with Music) or can take lessons without doing exams. Once a year, the Speech and Drama students perform a Speech and Drama Showcase for the ‘Exam Stream’ students. This is an evening of rehearsed pieces of theatre and is an opportunity for parents to view their daughter’s dramatic work

Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education at St Hilda’s is a comprehensive sequential program designed to instill a passion for the outdoors and the environment in our students. Students are involved in year level curriculum programs from Year 2 – 10. These experiences are developed to engage students in the environment, personal growth, wellbeing, leadership, independence, interpersonal skills, cultural awareness and resilience. Each program has a specific focus to help develop students outside of the classroom.

Clubs and Committees

At the heart of all the programs and initiatives that St Hilda’s offers, we reflect on the best interests of the girls, how can we best support them in achieving a balance in their lives across all domains and we recognise that every girl’s individual needs and capacity may be different. We strive to focus on ensuring that each girl is supported and to assist them in finding a sense of belonging at St Hilda’s.
