Gifted and Talented

Gifted and talented students are identified by a variety of methods including parent or teacher nominations, school counsellor reports, standardised testing, student achievement in class programs or by high achievement in competitions. Academically gifted students are catered for in the mainstream teaching program. Teachers provide programs that emphasise high-order thinking skills, lateral thinking skills and multiple intelligences.
