High potential and gifted education

Our teachers engage in professional learning to support the diverse needs of all students. Including high potential and gifted learners.

Classrooms promote creativity and critical thinking through hands-on, cross-curricular projects such as our STEAM and Culture programs.​

Students take ownership of their learning, setting goals, reflecting on progress, and celebrating growth.​

Flexible grouping and personalised feedback ensure that high potential and gifted learners are consistently challenged and supported.​

Evidence-based practice and continuous reflection drive improvement, ensuring meaningful and measurable student growth.
