High potential and gifted education
Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.
At Coreen School, we recognise and nurture the unique strengths of gifted and high-potential learners by providing specialised and personalised support tailored to their individual needs. Through the development of Individual Education Plans (IEPs), we create customised learning goals and strategies designed to challenge and extend each student’s abilities. Our dedicated team works closely with students to deliver targeted programs that offer appropriate enrichment and differentiated learning opportunities, ensuring their academic growth is maximised. Alongside academic support, we provide the necessary adjustments to promote wellbeing and foster social and emotional development. By enroling at Coreen School, you are joining a community committed to celebrating every student’s talents and empowering them to reach their full potential in a supportive and nurturing environment.
