Kobeelya College General Information
The Kobeelya College and Conference Centre, originally the home of Frederick Henry Piesse.

Built in 1902 it still retains the charm of yesteryear in a spacious parkland setting. After being used for a girl's boarding school from 1922 to 1986, it is now a conference centre run in conjunction with the Katanning Baptist Church. Both Kobeelya House and the Chapel feature some lovely stained glass windows.Situated on Brownie Avenue on the hill overlooking Katanning sits Kobeelya. Built in 19

02 by Frederick Piesse for his family, it boasted seven bedrooms, a billiard room, a ballroom, and hot and cold running water. The grounds, at that time, had stables, tennis courts a croquet ground and a coach house. The main house was sold in 1922 to a private girl's school. The girl's school was unusual in that it was the only boarding school where girls could stable their own horses. A beautiful chapel - St Michael and All Angels Chapel - was constructed on the grounds in 1938-39 with money raised by Parents and Friends and Students of Kobeelya C.E.G.S. and is still used today for weddings and special services. In 1986 the Baptist church bought Kobeelya and it is now a busy conference centre and retreat which can accommodate up to 76 people.
