Welcome
Country Residential Colleges – celebrating 50 years of excellence in caring for the country student
From its establishment in 1960, the Country High School Hostels Authority continues to provide a high-quality and reliable
boarding service for Western Australian secondary school students who do not live close to a secondary school.
The Authority’s eight country residential colleges are situated in major rural centres throughout the State. Working
in close partnership with fifteen secondary schools they have provided generations of country Western Australians with access
to a high standard of education. Country Residential Colleges provide an exceptional educational opportunity for students
who would otherwise have to travel to Perth for a comparable education.
We are understandably proud of our fifty years service to rural Western Australians, and invite you to find out more about
country boarding.
