background

Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.

At our school, we recognise and nurture these strengths early. We support advanced learners with great lessons and activities to help them grow and thrive.

What is high potential and gifted education?

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.

Academic competitions

We offer a range of extra curricular academic competitions for our students to participate in, including debating workshops and competitions.

Performing Arts

Queanbeyan South takes part in the District Performing Arts festival which is held annually. We strongly encourage students to become involved and join the fun.

Sporting competitions

We hold a range of sports carnivals within our school community with the chance to compete at higher levels, representing your School, District, Region and Nationals .
