Perth's centres run GATE and WACE programs. Two hours behind, and usually overlooked.
Perth is rarely first on any education company's list. It should be. GATE selective entry, independent school scholarships and WACE make for a serious tutoring market with material built over years. We run in a working-day overlap with the west and we come to Perth.

What tutoring looks like in Western Australia.
- GATE decides selective entry
The Gifted and Talented Secondary Selective Entrance Programs test is sat in Year 6 for Year 7 entry to schools like Perth Modern and to selective programs across the state.
- WACE is the senior market
ATAR courses in Years 11 and 12, with past papers and marking keys driving preparation.
- Canning Vale and the southern corridor
Where a growing number of centres serve growing suburbs.
Your program, whichever it is.
We supply no material for any of these. Your practice papers and notes become the program, on your own platform.
| Program | Years | Typically |
|---|---|---|
| GATE selective entrance | Year 6, for Year 7 entry | Reading comprehension, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning, writing. |
| Independent school scholarships | Years 5 to 8 | School-run and ACER style. |
| NAPLAN | Years 3, 5, 7, 9 | Reading, writing, conventions of language, numeracy. |
| WACE | Years 11 and 12 | ATAR course past papers and marking keys. |
- Term 1 planning in November and December.
- GATE preparation builds through Year 5 and the first half of Year 6.
- WACE preparation intensifies in Terms 3 and 4.
