At Penrhos, we are redefining girls' education with a bold vision: to empower every student to live a future without limits.
Since 1952, Penrhos College has been at the forefront of girls' education in Western Australia. Guided by our rich history, we empower each student to see no limits in what they can achieve. We encourage them to explore their passions and pursue their interests with enthusiasm, approaching new opportunities with an open mind. Our priority is to help every girl achieve her personal best doing what she loves.
Located on a single campus in Como, our school features dedicated areas for each stage of learning:
- Early Learning (Pre-Kindy to Year 2)
- Junior School (Year 3–6)
- Secondary School (Year 7–12)
- Boarding (Year 7-12)
Our Students
Penrhos girls are independent, resilient and future-ready – equipped for the challenges of tomorrow. They are the leaders, innovators and changemakers of the future.
We welcome students from as young as three years old in our Pre-Kindergarten program, all the way through to Year 12. Our vibrant boarding community includes 100 students from across Western Australia and overseas.
Our Community
As a Uniting Church school, we value diversity, inclusion and justice. We celebrate all religious, cultural and gender identities and ensure every student feels safe, seen and supported in a respectful and affirming environment. While we typically refer to our students as girls, ladies or young women, we honour individual name and pronoun preferences in all communications.
Our vibrant school community is strengthened by the dedicated support of our parents, friends and alumni. We are immensely grateful for the invaluable contributions of our College Foundation, Parent Support Groups and Alumni Committee, whose contributions enrich the Penrhos experience for all.
Looking Ahead
Our mission is to prepare students to approach life with courage. We want them to envision a future without boundaries, where they have the courage to challenge the status quo, to persevere and to push beyond their comfort zones. Our strategy, academic, co-curricular and pastoral activities, combined with state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated staff, are all focused on supporting each student to develop this mindset.
