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. ==History== 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. The school was named after the Christian Saint Hilda of Whitby and is the name of St Hilda’s Church of England School for Girls. St Hilda’s began under the direction of Catherine Small, with 54 pupils from the Girls’ High School and 45 new pupils. The School developed into a well known Western Australian girls school despite difficulties for schools during the Depression and Second World War. St Hilda’s experienced another surge of growth and development under the new guidance of Una Mitchell from 1947 to 1967. From 1969 to 1975, when Ms Patman was headmistress, a number of important buildings were constructed. The Roger Goode Centre which acted as both a gym and a performance venue, and the Una Mitchell Building which provided new teaching facilities and currently houses the Social Science department. The annual Cultural Day (now known as the St Hilda’s Arts Festival) was also introduced. June Jones took up the position of principal in 1980 and in 1981 the school was renamed St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls in celebration of its Golden Jubilee on the Mosman Park site. Since 1980, enrolment has increased rapidly in both the Junior and Senior School to around 1,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. A building program was undertaken and is still continuing. St Hilda’s has seen the development of a new library and English Studies Centre, a new Science Centre, Mathematics Centre, Administration Centre, Staff Curriculum Centre, Dining Hall, kitchen and Health Centre, and a new Junior School as well as major renovations to the boarding houses. In 1990, a Chapel Appeal was launched and a school chapel was eventually completed. To commemorate the centenary celebration of the founding of the school, a replica of Cædmon’s Cross from Whitby was built in the Great Court The current principal, Joy Shepherd, was appointed in 1998 and has brought a pastoral care program to the school. Eventually, major plans for renovation, building and refurbishment of the school campuses were formed. However, in 1999 a fire damaged the boarding house. Boarders were relocated temporarily to the newly bought Chidley Campus while a new boarding house and café were built on campus. The old boarding house was rebuilt to house languages and drama. In 2004, the school launched the "Spreading Our Wings" campaign and commenced development of a new Junior School at the Chidley Campus a few kilometres away. A new scheme was taken on in 2006, when Year 7 officially became a part of the Senior School. The Junior School (K–6) were moved to the new campus in Fourth Term 2006. The old Junior School facilities at the Bay View Terrace campus are currently being refurbished to extend existing facilities in the Senior School. This has provided for extra services and rooms for music, art and English, while the old library and English Centre are currently being renovated to house a technology centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
