The High Potential and Gifted Education Policy promotes engagement and challenge for every student in every school. The policy also identifies and addresses the learning needs of high potential and gifted students.
High potential and gifted children tend to:
- be intensely curious
- learn new ideas or skills quickly and easily
- display a good memory
- ask complex questions
- be creative
- enjoy thinking in complex ways
- require fewer repetitions when learning new things
- become intensely focused in their area of interest or passion.
The HPGE Policy is divided into four domains of potential. The domains of potential may not be mutually exclusive and are highly influenced by one another.
- Intellectual domain – refers to natural abilities in processing, understanding, reasoning, and the transfer of learning.
- Creative domain – refers to natural abilities in imagination, invention and originality.
- Social-emotional – refers to natural abilities in self-management and relating to and interacting with others.
- Physical domain – refers to natural abilities in muscular movement and motor control.
At Shoal Bay Public School we offer many additional opportunities to support our HPGE students to strengthen their high potential.
