Student Services Team

The school maintains an active Student Services team to ensure that individual students receive the support necessary for them to succeed at school. An emphasis is placed upon creating a caring environment and providing students with easy access to staff when any assistance is required. The pastoral care of the students is the responsibility of all staff at Perth Modern School.

The Associate Principal is responsible for coordinating the Student Services team, working on the vision and strategies to ensure systems and processes are in place to enable success for each student to achieve their future pathway.

The Manager - Senior Years works specifically with students, parents, and teachers on Years 10-12 with their academic success, WACE achievement, and future pathways.

The Manager - Middle Years ensures that there is effective liaison between staff, students and parents, with a focus on students in the Middle Years (Years 7-9) and the love of learning.

Each cohort has a Year Coordinator, whose primary role is to support the day-to-day needs of students. They also facilitate the Advocacy Program, organise social events and camps, and are the conduit between the academic and wellbeing needs of the student.

The Academic Progress Coordinator and Wellbeing Coordinator supports both students, teachers and the Student Services team to coordinator relevant support systems and programs to meet the needs of gifted students.

The House Coordinator plans and leads the House system, with the support of House Leaders and House Representatives. There are plenty of opportunity for students to represent their House in competitions within sport, drama, Advocacy, music, dance and through rewards and recognitions from the school values.

We also offer a Tutor Centre, which is run by a literacy specialist to assist students who might need additional support in this area.

In addition to the Student Services Team of teachers, at Perth Modern School there is an extensive system of allied support to enable students to achieve their personal best. Students are accommodated considering their unique learning, and social and emotional needs.

The School Psychologist supports students who are at educational risk especially if they are experiencing an emotional or family crisis. The Psychologist also conducts workshops designed to promote emotional health.

The School Chaplain represents a general Christian non-sectarian presence in the school. Through informal friendship the Chaplain will provide support for any students who have concerns affecting his or her emotional wellbeing, friendship group or school performance.

The School Nurse provides emergency care, counselling services for students and staff, conducts health and screening and immunisation program and assists staff with Health Education classes by providing advice or organising guest speakers.

The Educational Assistants work with the teachers and Student Services team to support the academic progress of twice exceptional gifted students, with specific learning disorders or neurodiversity diagnoses.

Student Services Support Officers are an integral part of the team, ensuring that students are welcomed, communication between home and the school is efficient and accurate records are kept.
