School Accommodation
The building consists of a modern complex centred on a four-storey main teaching block. The school's new development has new airport styled seating areas throughout the concourse. The concourse area has also been split into two parts separating the juniors from third and fourth years and the new extension to the front of the school has meant there is a new social area for the seniors. The campus contains spacious grounds, as well as playing fields. The school gives particular emphasis to environmental issues and the grounds contain a number of specialised environmental project areas. A climbing wall has also been built which pupils have access to at lunchtimes and after school.
Due to a recent HMIe Inspection of Perth High School, there have been building works going on around the school which have resulted in the Physics department's classrooms being refurbished, along with a selection of other rooms around the school. The building works also include the stairwell banisters being replaced and the entry/exit doors around the school also being replaced. These building works will be on-going over three consecutive years in a project to refurbish the whole school to meet up with the standards of new schools.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
