We cater for gifted and talented students in a range of ways. Our High Potential & Gifted class operates in Years 7 and 8, grouping our most able students in a distinct class for the purpose of differentiating their curriculum and instruction. This class continues in Year 8 as a full time ability grouping of students. Students must continue to earn their places in the class on the basis of their assessment and examination results. New enrolments are considered for placement in the class on the basis of their most recent school reports. Application forms are also available from the school office.
High Potential & Gifted Education Policy
Academic extension classes in all other Years provide a focus to ensure our gifted students achieve at the highest level.

In the classroom, these include: curriculum compacting; curriculum enrichment; a wide range of elective choices and a range of teaching and learning strategies, including contract work and problem solving activities.
Our Year 7 High Potential & Gifted class is actively involved in a number of exciting learning opportunities including Tournament of the Minds. Other opportunities for our high achieving students include:
We encourage our students to become involved in state and national academic competitions in English, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography. Our students consistently achieve a high degree of excellence in these competitions.
