High potential and gifted education
At Clarke Road School, we get to know each student and nurture their strengths. ‘Opening New Worlds for Every Student’ is a high priority.
We foster a culture of high expectations and equity in excellence, ensuring every student, no matter their background, has opportunities to develop their potential.
Our school offers a diverse range of opportunities across the 4 domains of potential: creative, intellectual, physical and social-emotional.
Our high potential and gifted education opportunities
Our students engage with HPGE education in the classroom, in our school, and across NSW.
In our classroom
- We identify students’ learning needs in the classroom and use evidence-informed shared frameworks to challenge and extend students. We provide continuous, meaningful and relevant learning pathways.
- We recognise that each child and young person learn in different ways and can improve relative to their own capabilities.
- Every student will actively engage in a range of activities that support them to be further along their ‘Road to Independence’.
- A calm and responsive learning environment means students are more likely to be ready to engage, learn and achieve their personal best.
Across our school
- ‘Creating a Voice for every learner’ continues to be an important focus. We want every child and young person to express themselves everywhere with everyone, many times every day.
- We provide flexible and diverse opportunities for students to explore and grow their strengths across a range of personalised and shared programs.
- Our school has active links with other nearby schools and local communities.
- We include parents and carers and community and use their expertise to ensure all students have opportunities to develop their potential.
