Strategic Intent and Vision
What guides us
Guided by the vision of founding Sisters Vera, Rosalie, and Susanna, we remain committed to their aspiration for students:
“not merely to gain distinction in examination lists, but to be fitted to gain distinction in the greater business of life.”
We uphold this legacy by fostering opportunity and achievement through a culture of care, community and future-focused learning. Our students are equipped to thrive in a complex, changing world through the development of capability, courage and compassion.
Our strategic intent
Our strategy and daily practice are guided by the Anglican values we live and teach:
CAPABLE:
Pursuing learning and excellence with confidence and resourcefulness.
COURAGEOUS:
Meeting challenges with resilience and purpose.
CARING:
Acting with integrity, respect and generosity in service to others.
Together, we prepare young women to step into the adult world with confidence and self-determination.
Principal’s Overview
Perth College is a community shaped by more than 120 years of education, care and connection. From our students and families to our staff, Old Girls and community, we are united by a shared commitment to helping young women grow with confidence, purpose and compassion.
As we look toward 2028, this strategy sets out how we will continue to honour who we are and respond thoughtfully to a changing world. It reflects a period of stability, clarity and confidence for Perth College, grounded in strong leadership, a clear educational philosophy and a deep respect for our Anglican heritage and values.
This strategy is about focus. It brings together what matters most to our community: inspiring learning that opens doors, a culture of care where every individual is known and valued, strong relationships that connect us to one another and the wider world and responsible stewardship that ensures Perth College continues to thrive for generations to come.
At the heart of this strategy is our belief in girls - their capacity to learn deeply, lead with courage, care for others and shape their own futures. Guided by our values of being capable, courageous and caring, we are committed to providing an education that supports academic excellence, wellbeing and personal growth, while preparing students for the opportunities and challenges of life beyond school.
These Strategic Pillars for 2026–2028 provide a shared framework for decision-making and daily practice across the School. They articulate how we will work together to strengthen what makes Perth College distinctive, while ensuring our community continues to feel connected, supported and inspired.
Together, we look forward with confidence.

Student Management
Enrolments
There were 986 Pre-K to Year 12 students enrolled at Perth College in 2025, including 14 international and 33 First Nations students.
Attendance
The average rate of attendance for students at Perth College in 2025 was 93.53% per cent.
Perth College, in partnership with parents, promotes regular attendance of students, as it is essential in maximising their potential at school. Parents are legally responsible for the regular attendance of their children; however, school staff regularly monitor absences as part of their duty of care.
Travel during term time is discouraged to minimise the impact on a student’s learning. Exemptions are granted in cases where students are representing their club, School or State, for example. The school’s protocol for absentees requires parents to notify Perth College of their child’s absence prior to 9:15 am via the absentee telephone line, SMS or email. For extended absences, parents must complete the absence form available on the School’s Learning Management System, SPACE.
Academic Achievement
Each year, students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9 sit the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) test. The table below shows data since 2023 when a change was made in reporting of results. In 2025, the proportion of Perth College students above the ‘Needs additional support’ level in the areas assessed appears in the table below.

Nineteen students undertook a Certificate IV pathway to university by completing a Certificate IV qualification alongside English ATAR. Of these students, fourteen achieved direct entry eligibility into at least one Western Australian university, while the remaining students qualified for University Preparation courses, further demonstrating the strength and flexibility of the school’s multiple pathway approach.
