High potential and gifted education
Nurturing Every Student’s Potential
At Eastwood Heights Public School, we are committed to recognising and nurturing the high potential in every student. Through a combination of data-driven assessment and targeted support, we provide differentiated classroom programs and enrichment opportunities across the creative, intellectual, physical and social-emotional domains. Teachers identify high potential in students using objective and reliable measures as part of formative assessment that supports and informs teaching and learning. The school offers a broad range of talent development opportunities across areas such as sport, music, the creative arts, and student leadership, supporting the growth and refinement of students’ unique learning journeys.
Close collaboration with families and the wider community helps to ensure each student’s talents are recognised and developed. Teachers engage in ongoing professional learning to build their capability to enhance growth and achievement for all high potential and gifted students.
