High potential and gifted education
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.
Why choose us for your high potential or gifted child?

Tailored lessons

Rich opportunities and activities
Students can take part in opportunities to develop their talent in the arts, sport, leadership and more.

Our students can participate in a wide range of state-wide opportunities that aim to extend and enrich student potential.
