St Hilda's School for girls and The Southport School for boys have a unique common background - both are private Anglican schools accommodating boarders and day students - located minutes apart at Southport on the Gold Coast of Queensland.

While the success of both schools reflects the benefits of a separate formal education for boys and girls, both schools acknowledge that social interaction between boys and girls is an essential, enjoyable and a highly beneficial part of their maturation. At St Hilda's and TSS we encourage this and we know parents expect it.

The location of the two schools provides the ideal environment for bringing social interaction into a range of student activities
The Linkage Programme between the two schools embraces co-operation at many levels in the schools' operations, including discounts for parents who send children to both schools.
