Strategic Vision

Sparking Extraordinary Futures – Our Future Vision

St Hilda’s has always been a school of vision and purpose. We believe in sparking extraordinary futures, nurturing inventive and adaptive thinkers, and inspiring our girls to meet the world with curiosity, courage, and compassion.  

As we look ahead, our strategy, Sparking Extraordinary Futures (2025 and beyond), is anchored in five commitments. These commitments are not simply plans on paper; they are living promises to our girls, shaping the education they receive today and preparing them for the women they will become tomorrow.

Our Commitments

These five commitments are not isolated ambitions. Together, they are the framework that ensures a St Hilda’s girl graduates with character, courage, and clarity of purpose.   

They remind us of why we are here: to support, to celebrate, and to invest in the extraordinary potential of every girl.

  • Commitment 1 – Personal Excellence and Intellectual Curiosity
  • Commitment 2 – Being Human in a Digital Age
  • Commitment 3 – Leaning into Girls’ Leadership
  • Commitment 4 – Nurturing our Culture of Care and Partnerships
  • Commitment 5 – Transforming Spaces for Future Growth

Personal Excellence and Intellectual Curiosity

At St Hilda’s, excellence is about every girl discovering her own brilliance, pursuing her passions, and developing resilience, creativity, and purpose. Our robust teaching and learning frameworks underpin academic mastery and ensure our girls consistently achieve graduation results that are leading in the State.  

Later this term, we will be unveiling exciting new initiatives that extend our commitment to sparking curiosity and practical learning. These include programs designed to nurture innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship, and resilience from an early age, as well as a new financial literacy curriculum that will empower our girls with essential life skills.

These initiatives reflect our belief that excellence is not only academic but also practical and personal.

Being Human in a Digital Age

Technology is everywhere, but what sets St Hilda’s apart is how we teach our girls to lead with empathy, discernment, and ethical awareness in this space. We are proud to be leading the way in our use of technology and AI. Balancing the needs of our younger girls to learn in a controlled digital environment with those of senior students who need to understand the implications of AI is one of the challenges we face. However, we are confident that we have the right practices in place to meet the needs of our girls at every stage.  

Moreover, we lead the education sector in our use of AI to generate deeper insights into our girls’ academic results. The development of AI-enhanced data-tracking dashboards gives teachers real-time insights into our students’ academic and pastoral needs at a glance. It’s a game-changer for our staff, enabling them to respond quickly to any concerns with a full picture at their fingertips. We will continue to build on this capacity to create better tools that enhance our girls’ learning through AI.

Leaning Into Girls’ Leadership 

Leadership is in St Hilda’s DNA. Our girls and graduates achieve great things.  

In 2026, we are introducing a dedicated Leadership Curriculum, compulsory for our Years 5 and 7 girls and optional for our Year 11 girls. For Years 5 and 7, leadership will be built into class time, giving our girls the skills and language of leadership from an early age. For Year 11, leadership will be offered as a cocurricular program, in partnership with Future Female Leaders WA, an organisation at the forefront of empowering young women across our state.

Together, we are preparing our girls to lead with confidence, compassion, and purpose. We look forward to expanding our leadership education opportunities in the coming years.

 

Nurturing our Culture of Care and Partnerships 

St Hilda’s is more than a school; it is a community bound by care, gratitude, and connection. We continue to strengthen our partnerships with Scotch, Hale, and Christ Church, recognising that coeducational engagement plays an important role in girls’ social development and prepares them for life beyond school. By building these connections, we nurture belonging, empathy, and mutual respect, values that define a St Hilda’s education.  

As we mark our 130th year of girls’ education next year, we look forward to celebrating our School’s success with our Old Scholars Association through a number of exciting new initiatives.

So many of our graduates have shaped our society, and we hope to highlight these fearless leaders in the year ahead.

Transforming Spaces for Future Growth 

We are deeply grateful for the beautiful campuses we are privileged to call home, Bay View, Chidley, and Yeagarup. Each holds a unique place in the St Hilda’s journey, shaping the experiences and memories of our girls. After substantial consultation with our community, we are excited to launch our 30-year Master Plan that will guide our campus revitalisation.  

Together with our campus improvement program, the Master Plan outlines key learning precincts that will ensure our girls and staff have modern, innovative, and inspiring spaces in which to collaborate, create, and thrive. From early learners to senior learners, these environments will fuel curiosity, spark creativity, and reflect the future our girls are preparing to lead.
