Belmont City College

What Belmont City College does

Belmont City College is a Western Australian state government senior high school located in Belmont, six kilometres east of Perth. Established in 1957 as Belmont Senior High School and rebranded in 2000 following significant refurbishment, it became one of the first 34 Independent Public Schools in WA in 2010, gaining operational autonomy in staffing, finances, and program design. The school serves Years 7 to 12 within a government-defined local intake area, with out-of-area enrolments considered only where capacity exists or where applicants are selected into a Department of Education-approved Specialist Program.

The college operates a curriculum-plus-specialist-program model. Core subject areas span English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Health and Physical Education, Technologies, The Arts, and Japanese, aligned with the Western Australian Curriculum. Eight specialist programs differentiate the offering: the A Plus Academic Excellence Program, Specialist Contemporary Drama (anchored by the purpose-built Bilya Theatre), Music Excellence, Follow the Dream (Aboriginal student support, partnered with BHP since 2003), STEM Science Engineering, EPIC-Science primary extension, Inclusive Education, and DEAF Education (operating since 1989, formalised 2013). Vocational Education and Training qualifications (Certificate I–III) are delivered through partnerships with five Registered Training Organisations.

The technology stack is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), supported by Wi-Fi, Microsoft 365, the WA Department of Education's Connect LMS, ClickView, Education Perfect, eLibrary/eplatform, Webex, and PaperCut Print Deploy across Windows 11 and macOS. Revenue is not commercially disclosed; the school is primarily funded by the WA Department of Education, supplemented by parent contributions (annual, year- and subject-dependent), uniform shop transactions, and partner contributions from the City of Belmont and BHP. The 2015 WA Education Awards finalist recognition and a 100% university placement rate for eligible students are the headline brand credentials.
