Extension and Enrichment
We have highly qualified teachers that offer specialised programs to support the learning needs of students whose abilities exceed their age group.
Our extension and enrichment program is designed to provide opportunities for high achieving students to extend themselves and deepen their learning at school.
Our aim is to support students that show strength, interest and ability intellectually, socially or physically to help them to achieve their educational potential. If your child is identified as having a strength in a particular area of learning, they will be placed in specific classes or groups in order to fuel their learning and to challenge them.
Students in these programs also have the option to participate in competitions where their areas of strength lie.
Our Extension and Enrichment program responds to the needs of our students, so it will target different offerings according to need. Over the past 2 years students have participated in:
- The regional DaVinci Decathlon, with our Year 7 team placing 3rd in 2024.
- ICAS Competitions
- Extension Spelling groups
- Extension Mathematics groups
- Personal Interest Projects
- Debating
- Write a Book in a Day
