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 full-time HPGE specialist, supported by a team of highly trained educators, ensures your child thrives across intellectual, creative, social-emotional, and physical domains.
