High potential and gifted education
Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.
Our school has active links with other nearby schools and their local communities. Students may have access to HPGE classes in collaboration with mainstream schools and are supported to participate in community activities and training.
