St Hilda's Collegiate School

Founded over 100 years ago, St. Hilda's Collegiate School has grown into a successful, forward thinking institution, proudly maintaining its links to the Anglican Church.

St. Hilda's was founded by Anglican nuns in 1896. Promoting Christian values and academic excellence, the private school provided an education to generations of girls from Dunedin and the Otago region.

In 1979, the school became integrated into the State Educational System, looking to the future and expanding its student intake.

Today, St. Hilda's is a modern Year 7 to 13 school for over 400 girls. It retains close links with the Anglican Church and welcomes students from any background who are in sympathy with Christian values and ethics.
