The School

Perth Modern School, a proud public secondary school, offering Western Australia's only fully selective program for academically gifted students in Years 7 to 12. The school honours the past, empowers those present and shapes the future for gifted and talented learners and leaders.

Staff emphasise the importance of connection and relationships in the process of listening, thinking and learning together. We partner with students, families, carers, and alumni, to successfully navigate change and improve student outcomes; a community where everyone belongs. In the early years, this means ensuring every student is known and understood, their needs and unique potential nurtured. As students progress, they are supported as self-motivated learners and leaders who are; courageous, curious, compassionate, committed and collaborative, encouraged to pursue their dreams, and resourced to achieve both academic excellence and positive wellbeing.
