High potential and gifted education (HPGE)

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

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

Our high potential and gifted education opportunities

Our students engage with HPGE education in the classroom, in our school, within our Sunraysia Community of School and all across NSW.

In our classroom

At our school, every learner’s potential is our priority. Our teachers find potential and nurture our students to be the best they can be.

Across our school

Across our Sunraysia Community of Schools (CoS)

Our Sunraysia Community of Schools work together to provide outstanding events and programs for our students which include our annual sports carnivals, Soccer GALA Day, PULSE Sunraysia performing arts event, combined school camps, student leadership events, debating and many more.

PULSE SUNRAYSIA

This annual combined schools performing arts extravaganza delivered with the support of the NSW Department of Education Arts Unit staff, providing our students in the remote far south western corner of NSW with the opportunity to shine on a professional stage in a world class production.

Barkandji Language Lessons.

All students at our school are lucky enough to learn the local Aboriginal language for our area, Barkandji. These lessons are provided free of charge through the partnership between the NSW Department of Education and the AECG.

Cooking lessons.

All students participate in healthy cooking lessons each week, growing many of the ingredients in our school's vegetable gardens and then learning how to create quick and nutritious meals. It is no surprise that cooking is one of the favourite lessons for all students in our school.
