At Penrhos College, we have a vision to revolutionise girls’ education, so we can all live a future without boundaries. With a ‘limitless’ purpose, we put our students at the centre of everything we do.
Our strategy is built upon five pillars – Embrace, Create, Soar, Blaze, and Impact, and grounded in commitments to no ceilings; make your own adventure; find the fun; and be a force for good.
Embrace – we nurture timeless connections
Create – we build learning adventures for life
Soar – we advance a culture of learning and growth
Blaze – we empower positive rebels to lead the way
Impact – we forge new futures in girls’ education
With this foundation, we will ensure Penrhos College is a school for, and of, the future. A Penrhos girl is independent and resilient. She is the girl of today, well-prepared and equipped for the challenges of tomorrow.
Penrhos College is an all girls’ school, in the faith of the Uniting Church. We are committed to educating our students for respectful and responsible participation in an increasingly diverse and fast-evolving global community. Equally, we are committed to the promotion of justice and equity in learning, working and social environments that are affirming and inclusive, where each individual feels safe and valued.
Girls of all religious, cultural and gender identities are warmly welcomed here. Our community respects and honours diversity, including (but not limited to) age, ethnicity, family structure, identity, race, culture, physical ability and religion. As a girls’ school, we typically refer to our students as students, girls, ladies or young women; where a preference is expressed for the use of another name and / or pronoun (in communications to, with and about an individual student), this is respected and observed.
At Penrhos we believe strongly in the benefits of a single-sex education for girls. We see the benefits of our girls-only environment every day, in the way our students act, think and achieve – in the classroom, on the stage, on the sporting field, and in their breaks with their classmates.
