In 2023 Perth Modern School will support a pilot program of a small number of high performing Year 10 students to complete a tertiary unit of study in Curtin University’s Rising Scholar Program as a co-curricular activity. Students must have demonstrated an independent and responsible approach to study, as they will be treated as adult learners.

The program gives students a full fee sponsorship for the cost of a selected Curtin university unit per semester (some unit resource costs may apply). Students will receive a Curtin Certificate upon successful completion of an RSP unit, and it may be credited towards an undergraduate degree at Curtin.  Please note that students are expected to attend school as normal, and complete all Year 10 scheduled assessments, including tests, practicals, and exams. Curtin attempts to be flexible with their timetabling; students are encouraged to consider Online courses for their flexibility. Selected units are available from the faculties of Science & Engineering, Humanities, Health Sciences and Business & Law. Students must provide several preferences as first preferences may not fit with school timetables.

Please see the attached document for further information and the required PDF's to undertake the application process.

Applications with Curtin close on Monday, 5 December (COB). Curtin will not process late applications under any circumstance.
