Inspire – High potential and gifted education

In our classroom

We are committed to recognising and nurturing high potential and gifted students, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive at our school. Our classroom practices support and extend high potential and gifted students. We identify students' learning needs in the classroom and use evidence-informed teaching practices to challenge and extend students.

Across our school and the community

Our school recognises that every student is individual, and we provide flexible and diverse opportunities for students to explore and grow their strengths outside the classroom.

• The Representative School Sport Pathway and PSSA events enable our students to trial and compete in sports at regional, state and national levels, fostering discipline, commitment and collaboration.
• The Premier’s Sporting Challenge (PSC) promotes whole-school participation in physical activity.
• All our students, including high potential and gifted students, are encouraged to take on leadership roles through student representative council leadership, mentoring programs and peer coaching.
• Our school identifies and supports students with high potential through targeted enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities such as debating, public speaking, Maths Olympiad and additional excursions.
• In Creative Arts, HPGE students participate in visual arts showcases that highlight their creativity and technical skill. Our dance groups develop our students’ technical skills, performance presence and physical expressiveness.
• Our MAX Tap program provides opportunities for Stage 3 students to maximise their talent and potential across one of the four domains: Social Emotional, Creative, Intellectual and Physical. Students set SMART goals to focus their learning, challenge themselves and measure their progress throughout the program.
