Welcome to Como Secondary College
Empowering students through excellence, diversity, and opportunity.
At Como Secondary College, we are deeply committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment where every student is encouraged to strive for excellence and grow into a capable, confident young adult. Our guiding principles - Integrity, Care, Ambition, and Effort, collectively known as The Como Way shape every aspect of our school culture. These values are not just words; they are embedded in our daily practice and reflected in the way we engage with students, families, and each other.
Students are at the heart of everything we do.
We offer a rich and diverse curriculum that includes both general and specialist programs designed to inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and support individual aspirations. Our Department of Education Approved Specialist Programs - EMITS (Enriched Mathematics, Information Technology and Science), Create, Golf, Hockey, and Contemporary Music provide students with unique opportunities to explore their passions, develop advanced skills, and engage in meaningful learning experiences that extend well beyond the classroom.
These programs are delivered by expert educators and nationally accredited coaches, and are supported by strong partnerships with leading institutions such as Curtin University and the University of Western Australia. Whether students are preparing for university, pursuing vocational pathways, or aiming for elite performance in sport or music, Como offers tailored learning journeys that meet diverse needs and ambitions.
A vibrant and inclusive community.
We are proud of the rich cultural diversity within our school. Students from across Perth, regional Western Australia, and overseas contribute to a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where every individual is respected and valued. Our long-standing International Student Program has helped hundreds of students transition successfully into top universities in Australia and abroad, and our English language support is consistently ranked among the best in the state.
Location and access.
Situated less than six kilometres from the Perth CBD and close to major transport hubs, Como Secondary College offers students easy access to the city's universities, training institutions, cultural attractions, and sporting facilities. Rural students accepted into our programs benefit from accommodation at the nearby Rotary Residential College, further strengthening our connection to community and service.
A culture of care and high expectations.
We place a strong emphasis on building positive relationships between staff, students, and families. Our outstanding Student Services team, supported by a whole-school approach to pastoral care, ensures that every student feels safe, supported, and empowered to take risks in their learning. We believe that effort leads to success, and we work to instil this belief in every student.
Visitors often comment on the calm, friendly atmosphere of our campus - a reflection of the respectful and aspirational culture we've cultivated. We warmly invite you to visit Como Secondary College, meet our dedicated staff and students, and experience firsthand the energy and excellence that define our school.
