High potential and gifted education

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

At Mulbring Public School, our HPGE program includes differentiated tasks, explicit teaching, and critical thinking development, supported by flexible grouping and leadership opportunities to foster collaboration, confidence and independent learning, ensuring all students are challenged and supported to reach their potential.

We offer specific programs such as; Visual Arts and Drama, Sports, Premiers Spelling Bee, Public Speaking, STEM, Premiers Sporting Challenge, Children’s University, and opportunities to attend High Potential Camps, ensuring a broad range of pathways for gifted learners to excel.
