Applications for our Year 10 HPGE program for 2022 will close Friday 29th October 3pm
Our High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) program runs from Year 10 to Year 11 and is focused on extension and enrichment, to enable students’ potential and giftedness to be transformed into talent and high performance.
Students will experience effective evidence-based talent development programs including differentiated learning activities in the classroom and additional enrichment and extracurricular activities. Students have the opportunity to explore their own unique passions and have a level of autonomy over what they learn and how they learn it. Each student co-designs an individual plan with the HPGE coordinator to ensure they reach their full potential.
Students are expected to take part in the various challenges and academic competitions organised by subject faculties. Students may have the opportunity to participate in advanced learning pathways and acceleration.
