Frequently Asked Questions

An all-girls private school gives students an environment designed specifically for the way girls learn, lead and grow. Girls often have more opportunities to take on leadership, speak up, and be visible in classrooms, sports and co-curricular life because there’s no “default” gender role in the room. At Perth College, our learning and student life is intentionally tailored to build confidence, independence and determination across every stage of schooling.

Wellbeing isn’t automatically “better” just because a school is single sex, but an all-girls environment can reduce certain pressures (like gendered expectations in class participation) and create space for targeted support through adolescence. At Perth College, wellbeing is explicitly taught through our evidence-based InsideOut program (underpinned by an adapted PERMA+H model), supporting self-leadership and flourishing across all years.

The biggest difference is the learning culture: girls’ schools can design teaching, leadership pathways, pastoral care, co-curricular participation and role-modelling around girls’ development without girls feeling like they need to compete for airtime or fit stereotypes. At Perth College, our programs and community are built around educating girls in a setting that nurtures confidence and tenacity.

The research is mixed. Some studies show advantages in certain contexts, while others (including the Australian analysis of NAPLAN) suggest single-sex schooling does not automatically produce stronger academic growth once factors like background are considered. In practice, outcomes depend heavily on the quality of teaching, expectations, well-being support and opportunities offered.

Many girls report they’re more willing to contribute, take risks and back themselves in a girl-only learning space. That confidence can show up in classroom voice, leadership and subject choices, especially in areas where girls can otherwise underestimate their ability. Perth College’s “Why All Girls?” explains this as a key benefit of a single-sex setting.

Many girls’ private schools offer strong STEM pathways and intentionally encourage girls into traditionally male-dominated subjects. At Perth College, students encounter technology and design learning as part of the curriculum, including STEM-focused offerings.

A girls’ school can be a strong environment for STEM because girls are more likely to see themselves as “the norm” in subjects like maths, science and technology, which can support confidence and subject selection. Australian research (including Monash University work) has found that girls in single-sex schools can be more likely to choose advanced STEM subjects than girls in co-ed contexts.

They can help in some ways (for example, girls can be leaders in every field and activity), however, gender stereotypes don’t disappear entirely, they are also shaped by wider cultural, media and societal influences. Research from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows that gender stereotypes can emerge early and influence confidence in areas such as mathematics and science.

At an all-girls school like Perth College, these stereotypes are actively challenged by creating a learning environment where girls are encouraged and supported to pursue any academic, leadership or co-curricular pathway they choose, building confidence, agency and belief in their own capability.

Girls’ schools support strong social development through teamwork, leadership, service learning, group performance, sport, camps, community partnerships and structured pastoral care. At Perth College, this development is further strengthened through long-standing partnerships with neighbouring all-boys schools. These connections provide regular opportunities for students to collaborate, including shared activities, sporting fixtures, academic programs and community events held throughout the year.

Yes, and many offer a very broad range. At Perth College, student life is designed to develop capability and courage through a wide mix of academic extension and co-curricular opportunities

It depends on the individual student, but many girls thrive in single-sex settings where confidence, leadership and participation are intentionally cultivated. At Perth College, girls are supported to develop self-belief, a healthy sense of identity and the confidence to participate fully across academic learning, leadership, sport and STEM pathways without the limitations of gender stereotypes.

Yes. Perth College offers a range of scholarships and bursaries (including academic and general excellence, plus rural boarding options depending on year and intake). Scholarship testing generally occurs in the year prior to commencement.
