High potential and gifted education

At our school, we recognise that high potential and giftedness can present in many different ways, including for students with disability. We are committed to identifying and nurturing each student’s strengths so they can thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively.

Through our Individual Learning Program (ILP) process, we work collaboratively with families and specialist staff to identify student strengths across the four High Potential and Gifted Education domains:

Creative domain – natural abilities in imagination, invention, and originality

Intellectual domain – natural abilities in processing, understanding, reasoning, and transferring learning

Physical domain – natural abilities in muscular movement and motor control

Social-emotional domain – natural abilities in self-management and relating to and interacting with others

Strengths identified through the ILP process inform personalised adjustments, learning opportunities, and enrichment experiences that support each student’s growth.

Disability does not define ability. Many students demonstrate high potential alongside complex learning, communication, or regulation needs. Our approach ensures that strengths are recognised, valued, and developed, while appropriate supports remain in place to enable success.
