High Potential and Gifted Education

Learning Opportunities

We empower High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) students to assume meaningful leadership roles that enhance their skills and foster community engagement. Through the Student Representative Council (SRC), they represent their peers and organise enriching events. We are currently working to implement a Student Playground Monitor program, where HPGE students will contribute to a safe and inclusive environment during recess and lunch, promoting positive interactions and building responsibility and teamwork.

Fostering Creativity

Our Art Clubs promote self-expression across various mediums, while the Guitar Group helps students develop musical skills and collaborate with peers. The Coding Club introduces programming and technology, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving through hands-on projects. Additionally, the Gardening Club encourages students to engage with nature and learn sustainable practices in a collaborative setting.

Sporting Opportunities

Physical well-being and teamwork are key aspects of our educational approach. Our school provides extracurricular sporting opportunities for HPGE students, including athletics, swimming, and team sports like soccer, touch football and netball. The Mountain Biking Club fosters fitness and a love for the outdoors, allowing students to explore local trails while honing their biking skills. These programs encourage students to thrive both physically and socially.
