High potential and gifted education (HPGE)

At Newling Public School, we understand the value of challenging students creatively, intellectually, physically and socially and emotionally. We aim to recognise and nurture these strengths early. We believe students who can recognise their own strengths, and are afforded opportunities to grow these strengths, are more prepared for a successful transition to high school and beyond.

Why choose us for your high potential or gifted child?

Creatively Challenging

Our talented teachers find creative potential in students and develop activities to foster their creative side of students in imagination, invention and originality.

Deeper Learning

Each student has different abilities. Teachers respond to each student’s ability by providing lessons that are challenging and meaningful to engage students in learning matters. Learning is deep in content and academic rigor.

Physically Demanding

Our students with physical potential are encouraged to challenge themselves through a variety of sporting pursuits.

Our students not only learn to self-regulate, they also learn to support others in their capacity to regulate their emotions, form relationship and develop empathy. This is part of Newling PS core business and is interwoven in everything that we do.

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:

effective teaching strategies like enrichment, extension and acceleration

tailored support during lessons that stretch, challenge and inspire

access to a wide range of opportunities both within and beyond our school.
