Turning of the Sod...

We are very excited to announce the building kickoff of Perth Modern's much anticipated 700-seat multipurpose auditorium. On Monday 11 May, donors, staff, students, architects and builders dirtied their shoes with a 'Turning of the Sod' ceremony on the cleared site of the auditorium to commemorate the beginning of construction.

Top donors Don Tyler and Dr Heidi Waldron along with School Board Chair Dr Ken Michael AC, School P&C President Phil Marshall, Deputy President of the Board Peter Farr, Modernian Society President Julian Grill along with involved staff, the chief architects from Site Architecture and Year 12 Student Councillors attended the ceremony.

As a student and community hub for innovation, creativity, knowledge and fun, staff and students cannot wait to watch the construction progress and soon utilise this wonderful new venue. The project manager has flagged a May or June 2021 opening!
