High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE)

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.

Students are supported to elevate their performance both on and off the field in a structured, aspirational learning environment.
