Welcome to Penrhos College, a Uniting Church day and boarding school for girls, Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12, located in Perth, Western Australia.

Selecting the right school for your daughter is one of the most important decisions and long-term investments a parent will ever make. Please take the time to explore our site and discover the College's vibrant, dynamic environment and the many opportunities available to students.

We believe that parents can give a child few things more valuable or enduring than a good education.

At Penrhos our aim is to educate girls for life. Our students are encouraged to become lifelong learners, active participants and resilient, accomplished and confident contributors. Penrhos College is an academic school, with a consistently fine record of achievement. It is also a place where girls are taught to value spirituality, hard work, friendship, compassion, integrity, good humour, self-discipline, loyalty and community service.
