High potential and gifted education

HPGE is an acronym for High Potential and Gifted Education. Students possessing and using their potential are referred to as gifted and those who develop this to a level of notable proficiency are referred to as talented. Giftedness in students can present in a diversity of ways for example academic achievement, creativity, sporting ability, and leadership.

Facilitating students to achieve their potential is the driving force behind the specialised programs provided by NNPS teachers. The diversity of programs showcased in this newsletter are in addition to the daily quality teaching methods of modifying curriculum to meet a wide range of individual needs.
