High potential and gifted education

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

At Kenthurst Public School, we recognise and nurture these strengths early. We support advanced learners with great lessons and activities to help them grow and thrive.

What is high potential and gifted education?

High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) is how our school supports students with advanced learning needs.

We do this through:
