High potential and gifted education

At Yetman Public School, HPGE lives in everyday practice. We challenge our students to think, create, lead and grow every day.

• Teachers identify students' learning needs in the classroom and use evidence-informed teaching practices to challenge and extend students. We provide learning pathways, including enrichment and extension programs and acceleration.
• Our supportive classroom environments promote a sense of belonging and encourage risk-taking, creativity and collaboration.
• We provide tasks that promote choice, authenticity, and critical and creative thinking.
• Our teachers engage in professional learning to support the diverse needs of all students, including our high potential and gifted learners

Every student is individual, so opportunities are flexible and diverse.

• Students deepen strengths through debating competitions, critical thinking workshops, and STEM and coding pathways.
• Leadership grows through GRIP leadership, You Can Do It and participation in community events.
• Daily life invites curiosity and belonging, with Cooking Club and the Garden Gurus Program.
• Sport matters too, with Premier's Sporting Challenge grants and Sporting Schools funding giving access to a wide range of sports. We also collaborate with the Macintyre Cluster Schools for gala days and carnivals.
• Students are supported in the Creative Arts with year-long visual arts opportunities, including exhibiting their work at local shows and competitions. The instrumental music program is available for Year 3–6 students. Additionally, students can showcase their talents in music, dance, and public speaking at local eisteddfods, gaining valuable experience and confidence.

• The Representative School Sport Pathway and PSSA events enable our students to trial and compete in sports at regional, state and national levels, fostering discipline, commitment and collaboration.
• State wide enrichment activities and competitions in academic, sporting and creative endeavours.
