The Perth Modern School Council was formed with the purpose of engaging in activities that will enhance the education provided by the school. The Council takes part in establishing and reviewing the school’s objectives, priorities and general policy directions. In addition, Council participates in the planning of financial arrangements necessary to fund the school’s objectives, priorities and directions.

The Council meets regularly throughout the year with scheduled meetings and additional meetings to discuss specific issues. Council meets to evaluate the school’s performance in achieving our objectives and inputs into discussions about the student code of conduct and dress code. The Council actively promotes the school in the community and develops suitable community partnerships.

Membership of the Perth Modern School Council comprises the School Principal, one community representative nominated by the P&C, three elected parents, two student representatives elected from Student Council, two members of the general community – one appointed from Modernians’ nominations and a representative from the elected Council of the City of Subiaco.
