GATE program

GATE program articles from Braintree Coaching Australia explain Western Australia's Gifted and Talented Secondary Selective Entrance Programs — the statewide pathway into Perth Modern School and more than twenty academic, arts, and languages programs. WA families often confuse GATE with NSW selective schools; these guides spell out how WA placements work, which tests apply, and what "GATE" means on a school website.

The articles below cover program types, preference rules, interview and workshop stages for arts entry, and how academic ASET scores combine with other evidence. We cite Department of Education WA sources for application windows and note when a campus changes its intake pattern. For a single starting point across academic GATE entry, use our ASET and GATE exam preparation hub, which ties format, practice, and key dates together.

You will also find school-specific context where a GATE program differs from a standard selective stream, and parent-facing timelines that align preparation with Round 1 registration. Browse this category when your family is based in WA or when you are comparing GATE against interstate selective pathways.
