Penrhos College is a Uniting Church day and boarding school specialising in the education of girls from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. Founded in 1952, the College is proud of its reputation as one of Western Australia's most progressive and successful girls' schools. Led by Principal, Mrs Meg Melville, the College is organised around each student's Phase of Development. The College caters for approximately 1200 students. Inspired by the motto ‘Strive for the Highest', the College is committed to a set of six Core Shared Values: Respect, Integrity, Empathy, Knowledge, Growth and Synergy. We believe a balanced education involves the development of the whole person. As such, the College's programs are designed to develop each student's mind, body, heart and spirit. Penrhos College offers a diverse and challenging academic and co-curricular program, a nurturing pastoral care program and many opportunities for community service and contribution. Penrhos College students enjoy access to a technology-rich learning environment via the 1-to-1 Notebook Computer Program. The College's modern Boarding House, Menai, is equipped with the latest technological resources to ensure Boarding students have access to the best study and communication resources available. The College consists of both a Junior School (Pre-Kindergarten - Year 6) and Secondary School (Year 7 - Year 12). Within Junior School is a state-of-the-art Early Learning Centre, launched in 2011, that houses students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 1. Across Junior School and Secondary School the College provides inspirational learning environments and student experiences. These combine with the College's focus on providing the best possible resources, teachings and experiences appropriate to each student's development to give every student the opportunity to explore their own interests and talents, and equip them with the necessary tools to succeed in their chosen endeavours.
