Inspire – High potential and gifted education
Students thrive through extension, enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities.
At our school we offer opportunities across the four domains: Academic, Creative, Social and Physical.
What is high potential and gifted education?
Inspire – 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.
Our high potential and gifted education opportunities
Our students engage with HPGE education in the classroom, in our school and across NSW.
At Turramurra North Public School, Inspire – High potential and gifted education is a fundamental part of our quality, differentiated teaching practice. Students receive targeted instruction tailored to their individual levels of challenge, engaging in flexible groupings, open-ended activities and enrichment opportunities that foster their growth and potential.
We are proud to align our approach with the NSW Department of Education’s Inspire – High potential and gifted education (HPGE) policy, which recognises the diverse strengths and needs of gifted and high potential students.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment that challenges and extends students, ensuring they remain engaged, motivated and empowered to reach their full potential. Our nurturing classrooms foster a strong sense of belonging and inclusion, while encouraging creativity, risk-taking and collaboration.
We provide flexible, diverse and enriching opportunities that support growth across academic, creative, social and physical domains.
