High potential and gifted education
At Windang Public School, we recognise that every student has potential that can be developed through the right opportunities, support and challenge. Our approach to High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) is guided by the NSW Department of Education policy and focuses on four domains of potential: intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical. We identify student strengths through assessment and observation and provide enrichment and extension opportunities across these domains. Students take part in programs such as the Public Speaking Program, Southern Stars, the Art Program and school sport representative pathways, which nurture creativity, confidence, athletic skill and academic excellence. Through HPGE, we aim to extend students beyond their current level of mastery and help every child connect, succeed and thrive at Windang Public School.
