The Swedish School in Perth was founded in 2003 as a sub-division of the Swedish Club of WA, and is primarily aimed at children aged 4-18 who have Swedish as a living language in the home. We hold classes at Trinity College in East Perth on Saturday afternoons.
The Swedish School in Perth is approved by the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) and works according to the curriculum Lgr11 - Syllabus in Swedish for supplementary teaching for Swedish students abroad. The school is also approved by the Office of Multicultural Interest (OMI) as a Community Language School.
Since the school was started, the school has been run on a voluntary basis by parents through a board led by a chairman of the board. The school has teachers employed for the children's lessons plus, if necessary, a teacher's assistant and the lessons are generally held in a number of different groups where the students are divided according to age and prior knowledge.
The school's ordinary lesson times are as follows:
Lesson 1 - 2.30 PM
Break - 3.30 PM
Library - 3.45 PM
Lesson 2 - 4 PM
School Finish - 4.30 PM
Please arrive a few minutes before the start of the lesson so that the children have the opportunity to say hello to each other, choose a seat and get settled in the classroom before the lesson starts. Break is at the school's playground and it is good if the children bring something small to eat and a water bottle.
After the break, there is time for children and parents to look in the library together.
During the lessons, the groups of children are together with their teacher(s) in their respective classrooms. There is a Library room at the parents' and younger siblings disposal if the weather is such that an indoor environment is preferable the schoolyard.
Should you leave the school grounds and be unavailable during recess and library hours, please let your child's teacher know before the start of lessons.
NOTE! In the start of 2025 the Library will be closed due to renovations until further notice, the school board apologize for the inconvenience!

The school is going on a trip to AQWA. There we have the opportunity to see the marine life in WA, are there perhaps fish that are also found in Sweden? What are the names of the fish in Swedish? What are the fish there that are absolutely not found in Sweden? These are some of the questions we have the opportunity to discuss while we get to know various fish, shellfish and corals and more.
Participating children's and teachers' fees are paid by the school. Adults and additional children who are not involved in school activities have the opportunity to buy tickets at the entrance, adult tickets cost 35 AUD and children's tickets cost 16 AUD.
As AQWA closes at 4:00 PM and it is recommended to allow 3 hours to get through, we will meet at AQWA at 1:00 PM.
The address is:
AQWA - The Aquarium Of Western Australia

Hope to see as many children and parents there as possible!
