Students that are well are expected to attend school regularly and we hope that they do.

Everyone  is working in the best interests of your child. We take all of our advice from the WA Department of Education.

We are following ours and School Curriculm Standards Authority policy in regards to ATAR assessments– you may wish to contact SCSA for more information. 

As circumstances/guidelines change we will continue to inform the school community. 

Due to the unprecedented volumes of communication, we ask all parents to contact the school via the SMS absent system on 0409 109 784 OR email PerthModern.absentees@education.wa.edu.au stating your child’s name, form, reason for absence and the expected date of return.

Please do not SMS or email every day your child is absent as the system is being overloaded.  

Due to high volumes of communication, please do not call the school at this time unless it is an urgent matter. Email your enquiry to perthmodernschool@education.wa.edu.au and it will be forwarded to the appropriate staff member. Please allow longer than the usual response time. Thank you for your understanding.

Students can use the online resources that have already been shared with them through Connect and OneNote to maintain some form of learning program while at home. 

These resources can be used at home for those students that are away from school:

The delivery of a teaching and assessment program will change in the event that we have a school closure.

Teachers are required to prepare and deliver their planned teaching program to students who attend school. 

Teachers are not required to prepare an external program of work for students that are choosing not to attend school as a precautionary measure.  

The wellbeing of our school community, especially our students, is very important to us. During these challenging times it is important to think positively, support one another, be kind and considerate and keep focussed on our normal routines as much as possible.  Feelings of anxiety or fear in these uncetain times is normal, but there are ways to cope. 

Headspace has some advice that parents and students may find helpful in staying positive. Please take the time to read the information below: 

At this time, the IT Team do not have the capacity to support individual students externally for those choosing to be at home as a precaution. 

NAPLAN testing will not proceed for 2020.  Year 7 and Year 9 students were due to complete NAPLAN during the test window which was scheduled to be held from 12 to 22 May.   The decision to not proceed with NAPLAN in 2020 has been taken to assist school leaders, teachers and support staff to focus on the wellbeing of students and continuity of education.

Reimbursements for excursions made

With the large quantity of reimbursements required please be patient this task will take the school some time to complete.
