St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls is an Australian independent non-selective Anglican single-sex primary and secondary day and boarding school for girls, located in Mosman Park, a western suburb of Perth, Western Australia. In addition, the school provides co-educational early learning education to both girls and boys.

History

Established in Claremont in 1896 when Miss Ross took in girls to her house in Claremont. It was called the Claremont Ladies' College and Kindergarten when it was bought by Melina Florence Parnell in 1904.

In 1930 it was taken over by the Church of England and re-established in 1931 at Mosman Park.

In 1938 the school employed Jeana Bradley to teach Biology, history and economics and while at the school she led St Hilda's Dramatic Scociety. Her productions in 1942 of Macbeth, Five Birds in a Cage, and The Rehearsal led to her being invited by Professor Allan Edwards to lecture at the University of Western Australia.

Today

The school catered for approximately 1,200 students from Early Learning, through Junior Kindergarten to Year 12, including 150 boarders in Years 7 to 12 in 2007.

St Hilda's is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA), and is a member of the Independent Girls' Schools Sports Association (IGSSA).

St Hilda's brother school is Christ Church Grammar School located in Claremont.
