What Perth College does

Perth College Inc. is a non-profit, independent Anglican all-girls school operating from a single campus at 31 Lawley Crescent, Mount Lawley, Western Australia. Founded in 1902 by the Sisters of the Church and tracing its community roots to 1869, the school delivers a continuous educational pathway from Pre-Kindergarten through Year 12 and operates an on-site boarding house for over 100 girls in Years 7-12. The institution is governed by a School Council under the Anglican Diocese, with no parent company, private equity, or public listing. Its primary customer segments are WA families seeking single-sex private education, regional and rural WA students recruited into boarding, and international students admitted under its CRICOS Provider Code 00445D. Scholarship pathways include Academic, General Excellence, Music, Performing Arts, and Rural Boarding.

The school's academic product is augmented by a portfolio of branded programmes: Eudaimonia (gifted education), InsideOut (a self-leadership programme grounded in an adapted PERMA+H model), SPARC (innovation/entrepreneurship with a Market Day), Djook Djinda Group (Indigenous cultural programme), and a two-pathway Sport Development and Performance Program (Community Sport and Athlete Development). Co-curricular strengths include participation in the Independent Girls' Schools Sports Association (IGSSA), with three consecutive athletics championships from 2023 to 2025, and Stage productions in the Judith Cottier Theatre. The technology stack supporting delivery and administration is conventional: a SPACE student portal for academic management, Shopify for online uniform retail, Swype for bus ticketing, Humanitix for event ticketing, and Microsoft Bookings for uniform shop appointments.

Revenue is generated primarily from recurring tuition subscriptions (2026 fees range from A$20,277 for Kindergarten to A$32,085 for Years 10-12) and boarding subscriptions, supplemented by uniform transactions, philanthropy via the Perth College Foundation (Annual Giving Appeal, Chapel Appeal), and event/programme fees. Customer acquisition is event-driven through campus tours (Junior School, Senior School, Boarding House), open mornings, scholarship testing days, and regional visits. Marketing assets include the Heritage Magazine, Myalla newsletter, and an active presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
