Principal's Message

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Helena College, a non-religious, independent co-educational school catering to students from Kindergarten through to Year 12. Helena College is truly a school like no other, and as Principal, I am proud to lead a vibrant learning community where students are inspired and empowered to be their very best.

From the youngest learners in our Early Learning Centre to our Year 12 graduates, we offer a rich and rigorous educational program that blends inquiry-led learning with explicit instruction. Our students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, explore big ideas, and build a deep understanding of concepts, all while acquiring the skills and knowledge outlined in the Western Australian Curriculum. Supported by a team of passionate and experienced educators, our students learn to think critically, solve problems creatively, and communicate with confidence as they develop the skills for a fulfilling life beyond school.

At Helena College, we believe that not all learning takes place within classrooms. Our holistic approach includes a wide range of experiences such as camps, sports, the arts, clubs, and community service projects. These opportunities help students grow into well-rounded individuals, developing the cognitive, social, and emotional skills they need to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.

Helena College is also a place of connection and belonging. Across both our campuses, you’ll find a strong sense of community where students are respectful, confident, and engaged. We value the important role families play in their child’s education and warmly welcome parent involvement at every stage of the learning journey.

Choosing a school is a significant decision, and while our website offers a glimpse into life at Helena College, I encourage you to visit us in person to truly experience what sets our school apart. Our Enrolments Coordinator would be delighted to arrange a tour and introduce you to the community that makes Helena so special.

I look forward to welcoming you to Helena College.

Peter Coombs, Principal
