High Potential and Gifted Education

Some students demonstrate advanced abilities and learn more quickly or easily than others. These learners may excel in one or more of the four High Potential and Gifted Education domains:

• Intellectual – advanced thinking, reasoning and academic learning
• Physical – exceptional ability in sport or other physical pursuits
• Creative – strong imagination, problem-solving and original thinking
• Social-emotional – advanced interpersonal skills, self-awareness and emotional understanding

At our school, we use a broad range of assessment tools to identify students across each of these domains, ensuring a consistent and informed approach. We provide targeted support, enriched learning experiences and extension opportunities that challenge and inspire high-potential learners, helping them grow, thrive and reach their full potential.
