Welcome to the St Hilda’s Alumni Community

For 135 years, St Hilda’s has been shaped by the pupils, families, teachers and staff who have shared in its story. Our school’s history is woven together through generations of friendships, achievements, traditions and memories. The Alumni community has been created to celebrate that legacy, to strengthen the links between the past and the present, and to give former members of our school family a place to reconnect.

Whether you left last year or many decades ago, and whether you were a pupil, a parent, a teacher or simply someone who played a role in school life, we are delighted to welcome you back.

Stay Connected to St Hilda’s

The Alumni community brings together Old Girls, families and staff from across the years, helping you stay connected with the school and with each other. Through this dedicated space, you can keep up to date with school news, enjoy regular updates, and discover what’s happening within the wider St Hilda’s community. The site also offers a growing archive of photographs and galleries, celebrating everything from annual school pictures to significant milestones and memorable events.

We hope that this becomes a place where you can revisit old memories, reconnect with familiar faces, and feel part of the evolving story of St Hilda’s.

Join the Alumni Network

We warmly invite you to register as a member of the St Hilda’s Alumni community. Registration is open to former pupils, current and former parents, grandparents, as well as past and present members of staff. Once registered, you will gain access to the Alumni site, where you can explore archives, read updates, enjoy photographs from across the decades, and receive invitations to future reunions and events.

Celebrating Our History

St Hilda’s holds a remarkable collection of school photographs and historical images, with annual school photos dating back to the early years of the school. More recent photographs, digital archives and contributions from the Old Girls network add to this valuable collection. Our galleries will allow you to explore the school’s heritage offering a nostalgic window into life at St Hilda’s across the decades.

We also welcome contributions from former pupils and families. Your memories, stories and photographs form an important part of our shared history, and we would love to include them as the archive grows.

Events and Reunions

The year 2026 marks an exciting milestone — 135 years of St Hilda’s. To celebrate, we will be hosting an Alumni event bringing together former pupils, families and staff to mark this special occasion. Further details will be shared with the Alumni community once confirmed, along with information about future reunions and opportunities to reconnect in person.

We hope these events will give old friends a chance to catch up, rediscover the school, and celebrate the traditions that have always made St Hilda’s such a special place.

A Community for Life

St Hilda’s has always been more than a school. It is a place where lifelong friendships begin, where values are shaped, and where memories stay with us long after we leave. By joining the Alumni network, you help keep that sense of community alive and ensure the spirit of St Hilda’s continues for generations to come.

We know that the family community of St Hilda’s has always been one of it’s greatest strengths.  We warmly invite you to become a member of our Alumni group and to rekindle that sense of belonging!

The summer holidays are over. The sports season is officially on.

From netball to hockey, gymnastics, swimming and cross-country, our girls are back in action — and there’s no easing into it!

Our winter sports programme is already in full swing, with lessons and clubs, fixtures on the horizon, and plenty of opportunities for the girls to get moving, get involved and challenge themselves. And for Form VI, the first Run to the Park of their final year has also already been ticked off.

In our winter sports era? Absolutely.

Let’s go, St Hilda’s!
