About us

Located in the Albany suburb of Mount Clarence, Albany Residential College provides co-educational boarding accommodation to geographically isolated students attending local schools in Albany.

We offer a supportive and nurturing environment for your child where they can excel in their education and personal life. Our college is a vibrant community where young people make lifelong friends, enjoy new experiences and truly feel at home.

The port city of Albany, located 418 km southeast of Perth, is the southern gateway for tourism in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. Albany is known for its stunning natural environment and preservation of Australia’s heritage. 

Albany has many amenities, including a regional hospital, primary industry, retail centres, primary and secondary schools, South Regional TAFE, and University of Western Australia and Curtin University campuses.

The college has strong ties to the community. To enhance this connection, we have a local input networking and communications (LINC) committee at the college. The LINC committee is made up of representatives from the community and provides advice and support to the manager and staff regarding the operation and management of the college. The LINC committee promotes the college and ensures that activities are in the best interest of students.
