We have just had our son tested for Perth Modern School. Amazing to find that over 1000 students applied to enter the gifted program but only 175 are accepted.

Spoke to the selection officer at the Education Department this week who advised that our son will highly likely be offered a place at this school. We visited during open week and were impressed. Have him down at a few private schools but Modern is the better option for him with the academic and music program being so strong. Our daughter applies next year and we can only hope that she will get in too as this would make life so much easier.

The Gifted program run by the Education Department is worth considering.
