Transition Program

Pre-arrival Support

Our Transition Program PC Head Start begins before your daughter steps onto campus. We aim to make the process as seamless as possible by providing detailed pre-arrival information for both students and parents. This includes a welcome pack, outlining everything from what to pack to the daily schedule, ensuring that your daughter feels prepared and excited about her new journey.

Orientation and Settling In

Once your daughter arrives at Perth College, she will take part in our comprehensive orientation program, designed to help her settle in quickly and comfortably. This includes a tour of the campus, introduction to the boarding staff, and a range of fun activities to help her make new friends. The staggered entry for new and Year 12 boarders ensures a smoother transition, with plenty of personal attention from staff.

Our staff are experienced in supporting students through homesickness, which is a natural part of the transition to boarding school. With the support of their mentor, the Boarding House team, and pastoral care staff, students quickly adjust to their new environment, feeling at home in no time.

Ongoing Support

Our Transition Program doesn’t stop after the first few weeks. Throughout the year, new boarders receive continued support from both staff and their mentors. House meetings provide a space for students to discuss any concerns, celebrate milestones, and prepare for upcoming events. Our team closely monitors each girl’s wellbeing, offering guidance and support whenever it’s needed.

We also encourage strong communication with parents, keeping you informed of your daughter’s progress and wellbeing. Our online portal provides parents with regular updates and photographs, allowing you to stay connected with your daughter’s journey, no matter where you are.
