Dear Perth Modern School parents, caregivers and students

I am writing to update you on your school’s leadership arrangements for the start of 2022.

Michael Morgan will return to his substantive role of Principal of Shenton College, and Chris Hill will return to his role at Shenton College at the start of Term 1 next year. My sincere gratitude to Michael and Chris for so ably stepping in at very short notice to take the helm at Perth Modern School at the request of the Director General. Their contribution during this time is much appreciated and highly valued.

Mitchell Mackay, Principal of John Curtin College of the Arts, will take over as interim Principal of your school from the start of 2022. Mitchell is the current 2021 WA Secondary Principal of the Year, a Harvard Fellow and an esteemed leader in gifted and talented education. Mitchell has a track record of building the capacity of his school’s staff and leadership team to make sure they can lead students to achieve outstanding success.

Mitchell Mackay is one of our most highly regarded principals and will serve Perth Modern School well.

Our priority is to put high quality education and the wellbeing of your children at the very centre of everything we do.  If you have any concerns or questions please contact me on steve.watson@education.wa.edu.au

Yours sincerely

Steve Watson

Assistant Director of Education
