Ursula Frayne Catholic College is a private, co-educational school located southwest of Perth, Western Australia, operating on two campuses. Years 7 to 12 currently attend Frayne at the Duncan street campus in Victoria Park, while students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are educated at the Balmoral street campus in East Victoria Park.
The College was established in its present form in 1990, but dates back to a school originally founded by the Sisters of Mercy, led by Mother Clare Buggy, in 1899. The school was named after Mother Ursula Frayne to publicly commemorate the first leader of the Sisters of Mercy and founder of many Catholic schools in Western Australia.

“Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“Thirty-five years ago, when I was a college student, people wrote letters. The businessman who read, the lawyer who traveled; the dressmaker in evening school, my unhappy mother, our expectant neighbor: all conducted an often large and varied correspondence. It was the accustomed way of ordinarily educated people to occupy the world beyond their own small and immediate lives.”
—Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
