This is a list of schools in the city of Perth, Western Australia, Australia. The Western Australian education system traditionally consists of primary schools, which accommodate students from kindergarten to Year 7 (ages 5–12), and high schools, which accommodate students from Years 8 to 12 (ages 13–17). A number of variations exist, however—the Catholic school system and some newer public schools move students from primary to high school at the end of Year 6, whilst in country areas, District High Schools serve as both a primary and a junior high school, with students generally commuting to or boarding at larger towns to finish the last two years of their education.

“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
