Info

KOBEELYA Kobeelya was erected for F H Piesse in 1902, as the family’s private residence and built to overlook their property and the town. The name, suggested by Sir John Forrest, is an aboriginal word which means “place of sleep and rest”. Kobeelya passed out of the hands of the Piesse family in 1922, becoming the boarding house and schoolrooms of the Church of England’s Kobeelya College and later Penrhos College. This school for girls, opened on 14th September 1922, was unique by allowing students to bring their horses with them.
KOBEELYA Since taking over Kobeelya, the Katanning Baptist community has worked hard raising funds to restore the building to its former glory. The temporary walls on the second floor have been removed, the interior refurbished and, in 2016, the exterior was completed. The community uses the complex for worship and as a retreat.
