A proud legacy of young women with character, community spirit

More than 1300 girls are enrolled at St Hilda’s, and the boarding house is a home away from home for 180 boarders, representing families from rural Australia, interstate and overseas.

From bush to beach, St Hilda’s boarders enjoy access to the beautiful beaches on the Gold Coast.

In 1912, St Hilda’s School opened its doors to 56 boarders and 23 day girls.

Today, more than 1300 girls are enrolled at St Hilda’s, and the boarding house is a home away from home for 180 boarders, representing families from rural Australia, interstate and overseas.

An Anglican day and boarding school for girls from Pre-Prep to Year 12, with a legacy spanning more than 113 years, St Hilda’s is known for educating the whole girl the whole time, helping girls to grow in character, confidence and academic ability. St Hilda’s beautiful campus is located on the Gold Coast, where studies are complemented with access to white-sand beaches, the Broadwater, subtropical rainforests, a vibrant CBD and major sporting events.

The experienced boarding team prides itself on the purposeful Boarding Wellbeing Program, designed to assist boarders in feeling connected and healthy while away from home.

“The philosophy of increasing care, growing connection and embracing community has helped shape the development of our renowned Boarding Wellbeing Program,” says head of boarding Amanda Rigby.

“We ensure that each family experiences the care, connection and community they deserve.”

Enthusiastic and active participants in all areas of school life, St Hilda’s boarders have relished the wellbeing opportunities available to them.

“We provide students with the option to explore all aspects of the Gold Coast. Students visit the beach on weekends and in the morning prior to the school day, allowing boarders to breathe, reflect and reset their batteries.” Ms Rigby says.

More than just a place of residence, all boarders are encouraged to embody the philosophy of care, connection & community”.

“We contribute 170-plus days of voluntary service, inspiring students to give back and form strong connections not only within our environment but also with the wider community.”
