Aranmore Catholic College's new Website is currently under construction. We look forward to showing you the site in the coming weeks.




Aranmore's proud history dates back to 1903 with the foundation of a school, originally named Arranmore, on the present site in Leederville, by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1942 the secondary girls’ school, St Mary’s, was joined by a boys’ school, CBC Leederville, established by the Christian Brothers. These two schools combined in 1986 to form Aranmore as it is today.

Aranmore is now one of the most culturally diverse schools in Western Australia. It is an inner city, co-educational Catholic day school for Years Eight to Twelve, with a population of around 700 students coming from over 68 different cultures. The College is a member of Australian Education International (AEI) and Perth Education City (PEC), providing quality educational programs for overseas students and has a specialist English as a Second Language Department.

Faithful to the charism of Catherine McAuley and Edmund Rice, Aranmore seeks to develop the whole child with many specialist academic, sporting and cultural programs including top level netball and rugby. The College emphasises the pastoral care of each individual and provides extensive scholarships for indigenous students and specialist support for non-English speaking background students.

Aranmore runs specialist programmes in Rugby and Netball, it has a vibrant performing arts community and a full complement of academic and vocational courses as well as challenging leadership and outdoor education opportunities.
