Founded in 1902 by the Community of the Sisters of the Church, an Anglican religious order, Perth College is the oldest Anglican girls' school in Western Australia. The school first commenced in St Mary’s Hall in Colin Street, West Perth with 32 girls. The demand for the introduction of boarding students increased and, as a result, Hawkesbury, situated near Kings Park was opened in 1903.
