St Hilda’s embraces Christian ministry based on scripture, tradition and reason and the Anglican Ethos Statement. All members of the School community are invited to share in the Anglican vision of faith to understand and form relationships in a manner that celebrates the diversity, value and sacredness of each member of the School community. Jesus’ statement, “I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly,” (John 10:10) is a summation of St Hilda’s desire to educate holistically in a Christian environment.
