St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls - Bay View Campus

"St Hildas has been a great school for me. The school had recently opened a new room called the ESSTEAM building, which is a new course that focuses on STEM education which involves mathematics, sciences entrepreneurship and marketing strategies which students focus on. The academics here are of a high standard as well as the range of co-curricular activities available. A great environment however most buildings are quite old and may need renovations but overall a positive school environment with great management as well."

"St.Hilda’s is the school that changed my life. I got a full scholarship for my high school years, where I moved from my little village in Timor-Leste to school in Perth at St.Hilda’s. With a big sudden change, it was almost impossible to think I could make it, but the school has a great support system, where I was able to get support from my class mates, teachers, tutors, my guardiens, and my supervisors at boarding house, and it has brought me to where I am today. I am forever grateful for everyone I met and the support I received during my time at St.Hilda’s in Perth and would love to visit once the Pendamic has over. Graduated in Dec 2011"

"St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls was originally opened as a small school on Stirling Highway,where their brother school lies today, in Claremont. In 1898, the School was renamed Claremont Ladies’ College and moved to the parish hall in Claremont. The school was bought by Melina Parnell in 1904 and renamed Girls’ High School. After Parnell’s retirement in 1926, the Anglican Church, keen to found an Anglican school for girls in the Claremont, Cottesloe or Peppermint Grove areas, acquired the Girls' High School. In 1931 it relocated to the Bay View Terrace campus, where it remains today. The school was named after the Christian Saint Hilda of Whitby and is the name of St Hilda’s Church of England School for Girls. St Hilda’s began under the direction of Catherine Small, with 54 pupils from the Girls’ High School and 45 new pupils. The School developed into a well known Western Australian girls school despite difficulties for schools during the Depression and Second World War. St Hilda’s experienced another surge of growth and development under the new guidance of Una Mitchell from 1947 to 1967. From 1969 to 1975, when Ms Patman was headmistress, a number of important buildings were constructed. The Roger Goode Centre which acted as both a gym and a performance venue, and the Una Mitchell Building which provided new teaching facilities and currently houses the Social Science department. The annual Cultural Day (now known as the St Hilda’s Arts Festival) was also introduced. June Jones took up the position of principal in 1980 and in 1981 the school was renamed St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls in celebration of its Golden Jubilee on the Mosman Park site."

"Great working with Fiona, Kellie and the team at St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls on demographics and mapping for the school's Strategic Plan. It is great to work with schools who think forwards, and not just what has happened in the past. We wish the school all the best for the future. Peter Buckingham, Spectrum Analysis Australia Pty Ltd"
