We are excited to be one of the 14 regional schools benefiting from the High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) program, aimed at supporting high potential and gifted students while increasing enrolments in the public education system. Schools across metropolitan and regional New South Wales have been selected based on identified student needs, population growth, and their capacity to accommodate increased enrolments.

The following facilities will be upgraded (this list is not exhaustive):
•Library facilities
•Hall facilities
•Fitness centre facilities
•School entrance and façade
•Administration facilities
We are collaborating with HPGE specialists to ensure effective implementation of the policy and to strengthen HPGE opportunities for our students. Together with the HPGE team, we are discussing expectations, future directions, and identifying professional learning needs for our school.
