Perth College

We’re here to help daughters become 
stronger, braver, sharper.

Using the science of positive psychology and our unique model of self-leadership and wellbeing, we enable girls to flourish. As specialist educators of girls, we provide opportunities for your daughter to become confident, caring, independent and determined to become the best version of herself.

Perth College has drawn on more than 116 years of experience and knowledge to create a learning environment that enables girls to become remarkable women and make their mark on history.

Our mantra is ‘be brave, not perfect’ because, by learning from their mistakes, girls become confident to challenge themselves and take risks. We underpin this with a sense of ‘sisterhood’, where the girls support each other, work as a team and engage in an active school community that extends beyond the Perth College gates.

The principles of positive education underpin all our endeavours at Perth College, and our leadership in this field is a major point of difference.

The enthusiasm for learning and general sense of confidence is something you can feel as you tour the campus.

Through positive education, we create an environment where students can stretch themselves. Not just academically, but personally as well-rounded and caring individuals who know the importance of making a difference and giving back to the community.

Girls are encouraged and nurtured to become confident and determined young women who feel empowered and responsible for their own path. We place great importance on developing critical and creative thinking, self-leadership, grit and kindness.

Positivity, optimism and faith.
We are proud of the spiritual foundations of our school. Spirituality is an important part of the whole person and helps shape the girls and their attitudes to life. We challenge each student to develop her own moral compass guided by an awareness of faith, in conjunction with the School’s wider positive education focus.

Our Chapel of St Michael and All Angels is the spiritual heart of Perth College, consecrated in 1927. We hold regular services here, as well as providing a space for worship and quiet contemplation. In addition to our regular Chapel services, students across the year groups gather each year at St George’s Cathedral in the city to celebrate St Michael’s Day.

We receive frequent requests for the use of our Chapel for weddings and baptisms. Use is reserved for Old Girls, staff members and the broader Perth College community. For more information on our Chapel, click the button below.
