Uniform Shop
We encourage our students to take pride in their appearance and their School, as the Perth College uniform easily identifies and differentiates our girls within the community. There is also a transition period at the beginning of Term Two and Term Four where students can wear either summer or winter uniform depending on the daily weather. By Week Four of these terms, students should be wearing the correct winter or summer uniform. More information on Perth College correct uniform requirements can be found in our Uniform Handbook below.
For any urgent enquiries, please email uniform.shop@pc.wa.edu.au

Transport and Bus Routes
Conveniently located in the heart of Mount Lawley, only three kilometres from the CBD, Perth College overlooks the majestic city skyline and is within easy reach of outer metropolitan, hills, river and Swan Valley suburbs.

Canteen orders at Affie's Cafe and Flexi Schools Guidelines
Perth College operates an innovative cashless card system reducing the need for your daughter to carry cash to school. It is currently used in Affie's Café (canteen), for Perth College bus tickets and the Hub, but is likely to be extended to other areas of the School.
Your daughter’s Smartrider card, which serves as a Perth College student identification card and Library card, is also used for over-the-counter transactions around the School – much like a direct debit bankcard. Through this cashless card, parents control the amount of money accessible to their daughter at any time.
The funds available on the card can be used to pay for lunch orders and end-of-day snacks in Affie’s Café, and to pay for their bus tickets and so on, all within the daily spending limit you set.
The Perth College cashless student account is both convenient and easy to use. Funds can be added to your account from your phone, tablet or computer. Flexischools accepts VISA, Mastercard and PayPal or you can direct deposit. For more information on how to set up your Flexi Schools account, please read through the document below.
Note: Smartrider Transperth funds and the cashless card system are separate accounts using the same card. On the back of the ID card is information regarding how to top up transport funds.
