High potential and gifted education

Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.

Our school is a place of diversity and opportunity, where every learner belongs. We offer a diverse range of opportunities to engage and challenge every student, including a strong focus on talent development for high potential and gifted learners.

Why choose us for your high potential or gifted child?
