Year 7 Update

What a wonderful start it has been for our Year 7 students. Students have now had time and opportunity to settle into their classes and start building valuable friendships.  

In Year 7, we encourage the theme ‘Sense of Belonging’. This will be a focus though their extracurricular activities. Students are encouraged to try new things, get involved in activities advertised via Student Notices, attend social events, and connect with their peers through the Advocacy and House program activities. Upcoming events include Movie Night and Camp, with the details being sent via Compass Events later in the term.

Here are a few photos of our Year 7 students settling into Perth Modern School life:

Perth Modern School has set up various tools to help parents to support their child on their high school journey. Some specific contacts and spaces that may be useful with answering frequently asked questions are outlined below:
