About us

Northam Residential College provides your child with a home away from home.

Since 1938, we have offered a nurturing environment where young people develop a strong sense of belonging and are encouraged to build their confidence.  

The college is located in the town of Northam, 95 km east of Perth in the heart of the Avon Valley. Northam is a major regional centre, offering a full range of health services, as well as shopping, social, sporting and recreational opportunities. 

Find out more about Northam by visiting the Shire of Northam¹ and Northam Visitor Centre² websites.

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.
