Her future begins here

Respecting our past. Building her future.

Her future begins here

Welcome message

Perth College has always been more than a school. It is a remarkable community shaped by those who came before and those who will follow.

From Chapel moments to Chemistry classes, every space on campus exists because of the generosity of generations past. Improving or reimagining these spaces will encourage girls into well-rounded women who can joyously pursue their passions whether that’s an astronaut who enjoys cooking, or a scientist who performs in choirs. As we approach our 125th anniversary, we invite you to continue that legacy for every girl whose future begins here.

With your support, we will help the School to enhance key spaces – the Chapel, the Theatre, and the Food Technology Kitchen – places where young women find voice, creativity, and reflection.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact.

You also have the option to direct your support towards our Scholarship Fund, which now includes planning towards a new Outreach Program to help young women from regional WA access the life-changing opportunity of a Perth College education.

Thank you for helping us honour our past by building their future.

“The buildings here at Perth College reflect the School's vibrant history of connection, creativity, and learning. They’re more than just buildings, they’re places where dreams come to life, friendships are formed, and lasting memories are made.

During my time at Perth College, I’ve spent countless hours in the Food Technology Kitchen, not just learning about nutrition and how to make spaghetti, but simultaneously discovering the joy and creativity that comes with cooking. I’ve also had the privilege of performing

on stage in the beautiful Judith Cottier Theatre, laughing through rehearsals with friends and building memories I’ll carry forever, memories that are all made possible by the incredible facilities at Perth College that support us every day.”

Chimamanda

“Perth College buildings are more than just walls to many of us. They safekeep the memories of the beginnings of our most valuable friendships, the memories of our most meaningful conversations in which we shared our ideas and hopes for our futures and the memories of who we used to be and how we became who we are now.

The Food Technology Kitchen is where I’ve shared the most. Cooking side by side with other girls, we shared more than food and recipes—we shared stories, feelings and laughter.

These spaces which we learn and grow in remind me that school is so much more than my grades and my academics. It’s also about preserving those moments that fly by us faster than we expect and making more memories that we can cherish and share, even after our time here as students comes to an end.”

Building fund

The spaces our girls move through each day shape who they become. This year, your gift to the Building Fund will support vital refurbishments and enhancements to:

The

Where generations of girls have paused, celebrated, and remembered. This sacred space will be refurbished to ensure it continues to inspire and comfort.

Where voices are found, and confidence grows. A vibrant space for drama, music, dance, and performance. The next stage of upgrades will enhance lighting, acoustics, and equipment.

Where science meets creativity. Stage 2 of the kitchen transformation will modernise equipment, increase bench space, and better prepare students for future pathways.

Extending her future Reaching beyond our gates

At Perth College, her future begins here. But for many families in regional and remote Western Australia, simply reaching here is the greatest challenge.

That’s why we are growing our Outreach Program – a future-facing initiative designed to connect more young women with the opportunity of a Perth College education.

Your donation to the Scholarship Fund, including this new outreach initiative, will:

• Enable more regional students to board at Perth College

• Offer needs-based scholarships

• Extend our offering to communities beyond our gates

We believe brilliance lives everywhere. Your support helps us reach her.

If you're connected to a regional community, we’d love to hear from you.

A Legacy of Giving, A Future of Possibility

Since its establishment in 2012, the Perth College Foundation has been the quiet force behind transformational change on our campus, turning aspiration into reality and generosity into lifelong opportunity.

We are proud to share some of the tangible outcomes your support has made possible over the past decade.

2011 – 2015

Giving the Gift of Education

In its formative years, the Foundation focused on opening doors for girls through scholarship funding. During this period, dozens of students were supported through needsbased and merit scholarships, providing access to a Perth College education that would have otherwise been out of reach.

These gifts didn’t just change lives, they shaped futures. Many of these students have gone on to excel in their chosen fields, becoming confident, compassionate women contributing meaningfully to their communities.

2016 – 2024

Building Her Learning Environment

In recent years, attention turned to upgrading and reimagining the learning and living spaces that make Perth College a second home for so many. Your donations directly supported:

• The fit-out of the new Junior School Building – (Ikey Broadfoot Building)

• The fit-out of Excelsior House

• Chapel enhancements to preserve its heritage and beauty

• Significant upgrades to our Boarding House to improve student comfort and wellbeing

• Acquisition of Windsor Hall, an important milestone towards building the long-term Master Plan and financial security of Perth College.

• Stage 1 of the Food Technology Kitchen redevelopment, including modern airconditioning and ventilation systems

These projects have breathed new life into our campus, ensuring that every girl at Perth College learns in an environment that is modern, inspiring, and fit for the future.

Each project we undertake is guided by our enduring commitment: to give every Perth College student the very best start in life, surrounded by spaces that support their growth, wellbeing, and ambition.

As a valued member of our community, your generosity helps us achieve that mission. Together, we are not just constructing buildings, we are shaping futures.

“The new instalment of air-conditioning in the Food Technology Kitchen has been a transformative development that benefits and improves the cooking experiences for all students. It has created a more comfortable and enjoyable work area for us to use. This new installation has greatly improved our abilities to cook and learn in the Food Technology Kitchen and we really appreciate it.”
