🎨 Celebrating Festival of the Arts 2026
What a wonderful two days celebrating creativity, community and the Arts at St Hilda’s!
Last weekend our Festival of the Arts (FOTA) transformed the St Hilda's School, Granowski Auditorium into a beautiful gallery, showcasing an inspiring collection of works from talented artists, with many pieces finding new homes throughout the exhibition.
Opening Night was also a wonderful celebration of our Old Girls’ Back to St Hilda’s Weekend, made even more memorable by our talented student String Ensemble, whose beautiful performance accompanied guests as they explored the exhibition and connected with our community.
Thank you to our artists, musicians, guests, volunteers, staff and everyone who purchased artwork and helped make FOTA 2026 such a success. Your support contributes to the important work of the St Hilda’s Foundation.

✨ Celebrating St Hilda's Day ✨
Yesterday, our whole School community celebrated St Hilda's Day, honouring the woman whose kindness, wisdom and care for others continue to inspire our School.
When our foundation Principal, Miss Catherine Bourne, named our School St Hilda's in 1912, she chose more than a name. She chose a legacy. One that lives on through our values of Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Hope and Grace and our motto, Non Nobis Solum - Not For Ourselves Alone.
St Hilda's brilliance was never loud. It was steady, purposeful and rooted in service, learning and connectedness. A dream of brilliance first written about by Bede in the 8th century, one that still lives in the heart of every girl who walks through our gates.
Our St Hilda's Day Assembly celebrated these values, with the Archbishop of Brisbane, Jeremy Greaves, joining our students and staff. Celebrations continued with Old Girls returning for Ball Games, reconnecting with friends and joining current students for a day of fun and community.
St Hilda's Day reminds us our School is more than a place. It's a community connected across generations, bound by shared history and values.
Thank you to everyone who made it such a special day. 💙
Happy St Hilda's Day!
Non Nobis Solum -Not For Ourselves Alone.

Our Futures Festival inspired big dreams and exciting possibilities for the future.
Students in Years 10–12, alongside their parents and carers, explored a wide range of career, study and industry pathways through engaging exhibitors, insightful guest speakers and valuable one-on-one conversations. From university opportunities to emerging industries, the evening was all about empowering our young girls to confidently shape their futures.
At St Hilda’s School, we believe she can be anything, and events like this are designed to help our students discover the many paths available to them as they step into life beyond school.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making the evening such an inspiring success. The future is bright. ✨
