High Potential and Gifted Education.
At Ulladulla High School we have undertaken a full review of our current systems to ensure we meet the needs of our high potential students and embed gifted education within our school.
The DET High Potential and Gifted Education Policy promotes engagement and challenge for every student, regardless of background, in every school across intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical domains. It supports every student to achieve their educational potential, through talent development opportunities and differentiated teaching and learning practices to ensure that their specific learning and wellbeing needs are met.
Stage 4 HPGE Program
In stage 4, classes are organised into strategic clusters within each class. Prior to entry into Stage 4 the majority of students sit the ACER General Ability Test. This test, along with teacher professional judgement, is used as one method to cluster students with others of similar ability. Teachers differentiate their lesson content and teaching strategies according to students' identified needs. This approach has been carefully developed and is focussed on ensuring all students, (particularly high potential students) reach their learning goals.
