Penrhos College

Penrhos College is committed to providing an education that honors our traditions and Christian values in a changing climate. Our students today think and operate differently from the students of years gone by. We must help them develop healthy coping mechanisms, transferable life skills, and strategies that equip them to problem-solve capably.
Our focus is on nurturing and inspiring the mind, heart, body, and spirit of each girl to enable her to explore her potential, find her niche, and – ultimately – to move her into adult life with a confidence that will allow her to navigate all of life’s opportunities and challenges successfully.
Penrhos College is fortunate to be resourced so that our inspirational staff and programs are well placed to support your daughter as she journeys through the Junior and Secondary Schools. To my mind, the other vital ingredient is an open, honest and positive relationship between the College and the family of each girl, to ensure that we are all working together and in her best interests.
I hope that each Penrhos student will understand the significance of all that she has learned during her time at the College and that she will take this gift with her as she graduates from Year 12 and moves into adult life.  Welcome to Penrhos College, a Uniting Church day and boarding school for girls, Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12, located in Perth, Western Australia.
Selecting the right school for your daughter is one of the most critical decisions and long-term investments a parent will ever make. Please take the time to explore our site and discover the College’s vibrant, dynamic environment and the many opportunities available to students. Parents can give a child a few things more valuable or enduring than a good education.
At Penrhos, we aim to inspire girls to become extraordinary women. Our students are encouraged to become lifelong learners, active participants, and resilient, accomplished, and confident contributors. Penrhos College is an academic school with a consistently acceptable record of achievement. It is also a place where girls are taught to value spirituality, hard work, friendship, compassion, integrity, good humor, self-discipline, loyalty, and community service.
