High potential and gifted education

Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.

At our school, we recognise and nurture these strengths early. We support advanced learners with great lessons and activities to help them grow and thrive.

What is high potential and gifted education?

High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) is how our school supports students with advanced learning needs.

We do this through:

effective teaching strategies like enrichment, extension and acceleration

tailored support during lessons that stretch, challenge and inspire

access to a wide range of opportunities both within and beyond our school.

Our high potential and gifted education opportunities

Our students engage with HPGE education in the classroom, in our school, and across NSW.

In our classroom

We consider using differentiation, extension and enrichment, ability grouping, explicit teaching, formative assessment or acceleration to target the needs of our students.

Across our school

We encourage students to explore their potential through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities at school.

Across NSW

Students have opportunities to participate in competitions across the region and the state like Maths Olympiad, the Premier's Spelling Bee and Zone Sports carnivals.
