Prendiville Catholic College

What Prendiville Catholic College does

Prendiville Catholic College is a non-profit Catholic secondary school located in Ocean Reef, in Perth's Northern Corridor, Western Australia. Established in 1986 and currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, the college delivers Years 7–12 education to families seeking faith-based secondary schooling within the local catchment. The school operates under the governance of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) and prepares students for the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE), offering multiple pathways including ATAR, General courses, VET certificates delivered in partnership with Cosamp and external TAFEs, Workplace Learning, and the Murdoch University FlexiTrack High enabling programme. The curriculum spans core learning areas (English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Religious Education, Italian) alongside strong performing arts, music (including the Prendiville Specialised Music pathway, Years 9–12), and co-curricular sporting programmes, with Surf Science as a unique co-curricular offering leveraging proximity to the Indian Ocean.

The college's technology platform centres on the SEQTA learning management system (SEQTA Learn for students and SEQTA Engage for parents/caregivers), integrated with the MacKillop Library digital platform (Wheeler's eBooks, ClickView video library of ~20,000 titles, AUSLIT, ProQuest, Encyclopaedia Britannica), and supported by a CompNow-operated BYOD device procurement portal. Ancillary infrastructure includes the Prendivillage community hub (Uniform Shop, Reefbreak Cafe, MacKillop Library, Good Shepherd Chapel), the 300-seat Redmond Theatre performing arts venue, and the public-facing Prendiville Gallery showcasing student glasswork and jewellery.

The revenue model is predominantly tuition-driven (annual Schedule of Fees and Charges) with supplementary transactional streams including a Uniform Shop and online store (uniforms, sports merchandise, AFL items, diaries, replacement locks, SmartRider cards, printer credit), ticketed student performing arts productions at external Perth venues, instrument hire and music tuition fees, camps and excursions (Music Camp $1,500, Italian Tour $700 instalment), Reefbreak Cafe food sales through the Flexischools cashless system, and external venue hire of the Redmond Theatre. The college contributes to a $100,000/year capped Lennox-Bradley First Nations Bursary for Indigenous students. GTM is community-led via the Expression of Interest process, campus tours, parent information nights, and the Parents of Prendiville parent committee, with marketing concentrated in Facebook, YouTube, SEQTA parent emails, and a dedicated careers website.
