Perth College is an independent Anglican day and boarding school for girls located in Mount Lawley, an inner northern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The school maintains a non-selective enrolment policy and currently has approximately 1,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12, including 110 boarders from Year 7 onwards.〔 Perth College is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia, the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA) and the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australia (AGSA). The school is also a member of the Independent Girls' Schools Sports Association (IGSSA).〔 ==History== Founded in 1902 by the Community of the Sisters of the Church, an Anglican religious order, Perth College is the oldest Anglican girls' school in Western Australia.〔 The school first commenced in St Mary’s Hall in Colin Street, West Perth with 32 girls. The demand for the introduction of boarding students increased and, as a result, Hawkesbury, situated near Kings Park was opened in 1903. Due to the development of Hawkesbury for boarders and Cowandilla for the junior students, together with the amalgamation of other subsidiary schools under the control of the Sisters of the Church, the school moved to the Mount Lawley site in 1916. Perth College was used during World War II as a base of operations for the army. The flagpole which stands at the front of the school was a gift. Perth College came under the control of the Anglican Province of Western Australia in 1968.〔 The school has performed consistently well in the WACE school rankings and is often amongst the best performing schools in the state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perth College (Western Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
