High Potential and Gifted Education

Congratulations to Darious and Qamar, who were recognised at the Liverpool Young Achiever Awards.

The Liverpool Young Achiever Awards are an annual program by the Liverpool City Council.

This program recognise students in the Liverpool Local Government Area for excellence in academics, sports, arts, and citizenship

Darius is a confident, expressive dancer whose work in the Shining Stars Dance Ensemble highlighted his rhythm, energy, and strong collaboration with students from other schools. He also produces detailed and imaginative artworks, taking pride in his effort and showing steady improvement through focus, persistence, and thoughtful engagement with feedback.

Qamar has shown impressive leadership and initiative in raising community awareness about the need for a crossing guard, meeting with local MPs and advocating for improved student safety. Her dedication and maturity demonstrate the powerful difference young people can make, and the school proudly commends her outstanding contribution.

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?

Recognising potential and developing talent

Our teachers find potential and nurture our students to be the best they can be.

Tailored lessons

Each student has different abilities. Teachers respond to each student’s ability by providing extra challenges and extension activities to keep learning exciting and engaging.

Rich opportunities and activities

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

Opening doors to wider experiences

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

What is high potential and gifted education?

High potential and gifted education (HPGE) is how our school supports students with advanced learning needs.

We do this through:

effective teaching strategies like enrichment, extension and acceleration

tailored support during lessons that stretch, challenge and inspire

access to a wide range of opportunities both within and beyond our school.

Our high potential and gifted education opportunities

Our students engage with HPGE education in the classroom, in our school, and across NSW.

In our classroom

In the classroom, this means providing students with challenges and activities that help them think deeply, learn faster, and explore their strengths. Teachers use special strategies to make sure these students stay engaged and continue to grow, while also making sure all students learn in ways that suit them best.

Across our school

Across the school, it involves creating a supportive environment where all students with advanced abilities or talents are recognised and encouraged to reach their full potential. This means that from the youngest grades to the senior years, the school provides opportunities, resources, and programs to challenge and support these students in various areas such as academics, creativity, leadership, and problem-solving.

Across NSW

Across NSW, it refers to the programs and support provided by the Department of Education to help students with high abilities or talents across the state. These initiatives are designed to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, have access to learning opportunities that challenge them, help them develop their skills, and support their success in school and beyond.
