Inner City College will have a gifted and talented academic program open to students from across the state, and Ms Ellery said parents have already called to check the local intake area.
Recruitment for the foundation principal is now open with an appointment expected in April.
Premier Mark McGowan said the multimillion dollar development will help provide the infrastructure required to keep up with the growing inner city student population.
“The project, together with the exciting transformation of Subiaco Oval in to a community hub will create thousands of jobs and deliver an active neighbourhood on the edge of the CBD,” he said.
The community will have access to the oval as a shared facility, with the playing surface retained as public space.
