Boarding
Nurturing our Boarders to grow in confidence and develop their independence.
We support our students and instil a sense of responsibility and independence, to equip them with valuable life skills that extend far beyond their time at the school.
A Nurturing and Supportive Community
Our caring Boarding team create a safe and inclusive environment for our Boarders. Your daughter will have a robust support system, including a Head and Assistant Head of Boarding, Head of Year, and Health Centre staff who work together to promote her wellbeing and academic success.
At Perth College we prioritise wellbeing, offering individualised support to ensure each student’s unique needs. Our experienced pastoral care staff, which includes nurses, and psychologists build trusting relationships with our Boarders.
Regular house meetings provide a safe space for students to discuss their concerns, celebrate achievements and plan for activities. Mental health resources and counselling services are readily available for students needing emotional support.
Our caring and supportive environment fosters a strong sense of community and family among our boarders. This supportive setting allows students to thrive personally, academically, and socially at school.
