From the Boarding House

A residential lifestyle involves providing much more than just residence for the students. At Perth College with its beautiful campus, a marvellous backdrop is provided in which our boarders can thrive.

One of the most significant benefits of boarding life is the training received that enables them to live in a community. The students quickly learn with the help of the staff that they need to be mindful of others and work as a team to create an atmosphere of companionship and cooperation within the houses.

Unlike our day students, the boarders day is only half over at the sound of the school siren. At Perth College, boarder's have access to the educational, sporting, and music facilities for a longer length of time. This includes the swimming pool, gymnasium, library, tennis courts and performing arts venues. Every weekend, activities are organised and planned to suit all tastes, interests and age groups. Ice skating, movie nights, picnics, surfing lessons and social activities with other boarding schools provide much needed time for enjoyment and relaxation at the end of a busy school week. The recreation program is supplemented by theme night dinners which take place once a term.
