St Hilda’s School was founded in 1912 and the leafy 14-hectare campus of gardens and courtyard is situated at Southport, on Australia’s

famous Gold Coast.

St Hilda’s has a strong academic program and a progressive curriculum designed to prepare students for tertiary studies and careers

of tomorrow. The School offers a broad curriculum to prepare students for studies in business, the arts, engineering, music,

medicine, law and other fields which girls may pursue. The school offers a range of exciting programs from Pre Preparatory

to Year 12 and our graduates are confident, energetic young women who participate positively in life. Over 90% of seniors will go on to further study. The School provides comprehensive programs in music, art, drama, debating, and public speaking. St Hilda’s girls are encouraged to participate in sporting activities for relaxation and fitness. Moreover, St Hilda’s girls are passionate about learning and contributing to their school, as well as to local and global communities.

St Hilda’s is an Apple Distinguished School, offering an integrated iPad and MacBook Program from Pre-Prep to Year 12. Girls have

access to a range of iPads, MacBooks and iMac computer laboratories

A high percentage of women who have become leaders in their fields were educated at girls’ schools. Girls perform better at school

and in life if they are educated at single-sex schools. Girls in girls’ schools achieve significantly stronger academic results than any

other group in Australia.

International students who are not living with parents or guardians live in school approved accommodation. St Hilda’s has been offering

a caring community life for boarders for nearly a century. Boarders at St Hilda’s develop lifelong friendships, enjoy the support and good humour of those around them, develop skills that will equip them for independent living when they leave the security of the school environment and enjoy the many cultural and recreational opportunities that are available on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane.

As a renowned Boarding School we often experience times when our accommodation is at capacity. In these circumstances, we are

able to offer Homestay Accommodation for International Students. Homestay fees and application process will be made available at the

enquiry stage should a place in our Boarding School not be available in the first instance.
