The school is a member of the Queensland Girls' Secondary Schools Sports Association (QGSSSA),〔(Queensland Girls' Secondary Schools Sports Association: What is QGSSSA ) (accessed:16-08-2007)〕 the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australia (AGSA),〔(The Alliance of Girls' Schools Australia: Member Schools ) (accessed:16-08-2007)〕 the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),〔(Junior School Heads Association of Australia: JSHAA Queensland Directory of Members ) (accessed:16-08-2007)〕 the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),〔(Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia ) (accessed:16-08-2007)〕 and the Australian Boarding Schools' Association.〔(Australian Boarding Schools' Association: St Hilda's School ) (accessed:16-08-2007)〕 == History == St Hilda's School was founded in 1912, when the Diocese of Brisbane of the Anglican Church of Australia purchased an older school, Goyte-Lea, from Miss Davenport. Goyte-Lea was established prior to Australian federation in the late 19th century. The School was named after the seventh century Abbess of Whitby Saint Hilda. Saint Hilda was said to have turned serpents into stone, and three stone serpents are the emblem of the school's crest. The School's first Headmistress was Catherine Bourne, for whom a series of classrooms are named. The School's motto since establishment is ''Non Nobis Solum'', Latin for "Not for Ourselves Alone". Although always a girls' school, St Hilda's does have 'old boys'. During the Second World War, secondary schools were used as army barracks. The Anglican Church relocated boys from the Church of England Boys' School in Toowoomba, to St Hilda's in April 1942. St Hildas was also used for a short time by the 135th Medical Regiment. Notable alumni include Ellen Makaryan and Stephanie Spencer. 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 School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
