Aranmore Catholic College - Secondary Campus
Welcome
At Aranmore Catholic College we are embarking on an exciting new chapter, as we transform into a Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 school with the 2026 amalgamation of Aranmore Catholic Primary with Aranmore Catholic College.
Our College is now a place of opportunity for students starting their learning journey for the very first time, to our young adults looking ahead to their final school bell.
Life at our College is underpinned by the core values of faith, compassion, justice and mercy in the tradition of our founders, the Sisters of Mercy and Christian Brothers.
We embrace diversity at our College and offer students a wide range of learning opportunities and experiences that inspire their unique interests, abilities and goals.
Qualities such as resilience, leadership, teamwork and humility are just some of the important life skills our students develop on their journey through the College.
Aranmore Catholic College is one of the most culturally diverse schools in WA with a reputation for excellence in education.
