Term 4 Uniform Preparation

We ask parents to consider any uniform requirements for the commencement of Term 4 and encourage you to check if your child will need any new items.

If your child requires any new items, the Uniform Shop at Perth Modern School is open: 

Mondays	8.00am - 11.30am
Thursdays	8.00am - 11.30am

See the P&C notices for opening times for the Second Hand Uniform Shop. 

Karrinyup Shopping Centre Lowes is also available.

There are also an extensive amount of unlabelled lost property clothing items. 

A reminder that students are expected to abide by uniform rules at all times.

Please see below regarding specific items: 

• School tracksuit pants: These have been ideal for the colder winter weather, but should not been worn in either Term 4 or Term 1 next year. Students who wear them can expect a uniform infringement.  
• Long sleeve under shirts: these are also not part of our school uniform items and staff will be following up on this change.
• Students are required to be wearing all black shoes with plain black or white socks. Other shoes are not acceptable.

Support the Sustainability Club by ordering succulent plants for the end of the year. These make for great gifts to friends, family members, even teachers! 

Ordering is essential, and the form will close on Friday, Week 1 of Term 4 (13 October). 

Prices are below:

• Individual - $5
• Group (over 5) - $4 (per plant)

Adolescent Sleep and Depression Trial 

A research project at the University of Western Australia (UWA) is seeking the participation of young people aged 13-18 experiencing depression. Since up to 90% of young people with depression experience sleep problems, we are investigating whether targeting sleep can improve treatment outcomes for depression.

Over nine weeks, students will receive evidence-based treatment for depression (behavioural activation), and half will also receive sleep treatment. These treatment sessions will be conducted via telehealth by provisional psychologists under the supervision of a registered clinical psychologist. Treatment is free of charge.

Participation involves completing research activities at UWA on five occasions, across ight months, and participants receive a $20 gift card as remuneration for each of these sessions.

If you have any interest, or would like to know more, please contact Dr Cele Richardson at teenmood@uwa.edu.au
