St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls is an Australian independent and non-selective Anglican day and boarding school for girls located in Mosman Park, a western suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
Established in Claremont in 1896, the school currently caters for approximately 1,052 students from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 12, including 150 boarders in Years 7 to 12. Whilst predominantly an all-girls school, the St Hilda's ELC is co-educational.
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 Australia (AGSA), and is a member of the Independent Girls' Schools Sports Association (IGSSA).
St Hilda's associated boys school is Christ Church Grammar School located in Claremont.
St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls was originally opened as a small school on Stirling Highway, 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 March 1931 it was transferred to the Bay View Terrace campus it now presides at.
