The Art Committee was initiated by Perth College Old Girl, Shirley Withers in 1985 and was duly formed in 1986 with Jackie Sprogoe as the inaugural President. We are a mix of parents, past parents, staff and Old Girls combining artistic and organisational skills. Any member of the Perth College community is invited to become a committee member or volunteer to help out during the exhibition.
