The last few months have been a very special time for our boarding families and an excellent opportunity for our boarding parents to gain an insight into their daughters learning while learning online. Our boarding girls also featured in an article on news site WA Today, to read the story click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our boarders travel long and far to be a part of St Hilda\u2019s boarding community. We are their second home away from home. The map below provides an insight into where our boarders call home.<\/p>\n

If we added\u00a0up\u00a0the distances\u00a0the\u00a0boarding families travel to\u00a0arrive at\u00a0St Hilda\u2019s\u00a0every term\u00a0it is\u00a0approximately\u00a077,044 kilometres!\u00a0That is\u00a0nearly three times around Australia and nearly twice around the world.<\/p>\n

We have a long history\u00a0of boarding at St Hilda\u2019s with our first\u00a0six\u00a0boarders\u00a0enrolled in 1906 in\u00a0a\u00a0private\u00a0house in Claremont, located on\u00a0the grounds of what is now our brother school, Christ Church\u00a0Grammar\u00a0School.<\/p>\n

In 1931 the School moved to its current Bay View campus, and\u00a0today we have over 98 boarders in our newly refurbished Boarding House. It is\u00a0modern, fresh, welcoming and vibrant and\u00a0is the\u00a0second home to this\u00a0generation of St Hilda\u2019s girls. While the experience\u00a0differs\u00a0significantly\u00a0from 1906, one thing remains\u00a0the same,\u00a0and that\u00a0is the incredible bond that our boarding girls\u00a0share and that is the power of sisterhood.<\/p>\n

There is so much\u00a0to explore in the history of boarding at St Hilda\u2019s and as we approach our 125 year anniversary next year, we will share these stories and insights into our wonderful history.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
