Giving to PC
Perth College is one of Western Australia’s oldest independent girls’ school and has been long recognised for all-round excellence and providing girls with a strong moral character and a determination to make a difference.
The Perth College Foundation was officially launched on Wednesday 14 March 2012. The aim of the Foundation is to create a ‘culture of giving’ and to build a substantial capital base to guarantee the future of the School in coming years. As with many other independent schools throughout Australia, school fees alone only cover the operational expenses of the School and does not allow for continuous improvement of its facilities. Assistance from the School community is vital to make a difference to each girl’s experience.
Previous generations of parents, students, Old Girls and the wider community have made significant contributions, with their time and/or financial support. These contributions have assisted the School to build the Judith Cottier Theatre, the Gymnasium, Jean Rogerson Science Building and the new Founders Centre, plus offering girls real opportunities to attend this School - opportunities which may not have been possible without this support.
It is now the responsibility for everyone in the PC family to support the School, so we can guarantee its future as a leading school for girls.
‘I see the Foundation becoming the financial soul for the School. Our aim is to build a significant reserve so the School may benefit from the interest generated from these funds.
I am enjoying working with the Foundation particularly as it will give people an opportunity to acknowledge and thank the School that has been and will remain a big part of their lives.’
Andrew Roberts,
Chair of Perth College Foundation
An investment in the PC Foundation is an investment in the future. PC has a tradition of over 100 years of excellence in educating remarkable women. As a School we have been long recognised for all-round excellence and giving our girls a strong moral character and a determination to make a difference in their world. Many of our ‘Old Girls’ have made significant contributions to our community and world.
Your gift to the Foundation will ensure future generations of PC girls also go on to become remarkable women and remain at heart, ‘Always a PC Girl’.
