As students grow in self-confidence, they start to trust their instincts, understanding what they like and don’t like and start to focus on their interests. Through this, they develop friendships with like-minded peers and seek knowledge to feed their curiosity.
Students develop independent inquiry skills and start to see problems as opportunities. Through our designated STEAM Makerspace, students encounter a range of interesting challenges like robotics, coding, engineering, electronics, designing, making and inventing.
St Hilda’s specialist learning programs are taught by a specialist teacher who is not the classroom teacher. Specialist areas have a JK to Year 12 focus with a Head of Department who resides in the Senior School so that our students are well prepared when they reach Senior School.

Playing a musical instrument uses all areas of the brain. At St Hilda’s, music starts in Junior Kindergarten. Courses include our Primo Strings Program for Pre Primary to Year 4 and Choral Program for Years 3 to 6, along with many cocurricular opportunities.
The skills learned in music assist all other academic, physical and emotional development.
We offer sit-in days where your daughter can come and experience a day in the life of a St Hilda’s student. This will give her an opportunity to make friends and get a taste of what a St Hilda’s education has to offer.
