At St Hilda's Pre-Preparatory, we aim to encourage and inspire every girl to their full potential. We offer an inquiry approach towards learning that encourages children to make meaningful connections between their own prior experiences and new knowledge, as well as giving them diverse opportunities to explore and investigate through play. Our emergent curriculum identifies children's current ideas, interests and abilities in order to thoughtfully plan learning experiences that are sensory rich and provoke curiosity, imagination and excitement.

We provide children with a nurturing environment based on Anglican values, where every child can feel a sense of belonging and be supported and respected as individuals with unique learning goals and dreams. We are a vibrant learning community who takes pride in our holistic approach, focusing on children's physical, personal, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, as well as cognitive aspects of learning.

St Hilda's Pre-Preparatory has a strong commitment to Reconciliation and we strive to engage, embrace and embody the heritage of a diverse range of cultures including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in our everyday practice.

We believe it is vital to build a genuine partnership with families, where parents, teachers and children can collaborate to create an authentic, consistent learning environment where children can become the best version of themselves.

Our beautiful, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces will foster a love for the natural environment and encourage children to respect and understand the connection between all living things. We have passionate, qualified teachers who guide, scaffold and extend each child's thinking whilst catering for a diverse range of learning styles.

We educate girls, teaching them routines and life skills to ensure a seamless transition into Prep. Each child's learning journey continues and grows during their time at St Hilda's School. We endeavour to inspire a genuine love for learning and positive attitude towards school in every child. It is hoped that their experience with us will inspire a lifelong curiosity, the ability to thrive in an ever-changing world and a firm belief that they have much to offer.

St Hilda's Pre-Preparatory is the beginning of a unique and truly memorable experience that will pave the way for your daughter's future journey at St Hilda's School.
