High Achiever Program

Vision

To identify and recognize the high achieving, highly able and talented students from Year 7-10 and to design a program that will motivate, encourage and challenge these students to excel across all subject areas using curriculum differentiation, in-school and external activities, competitions and courses.

Selection Criteria & Recognition

High-achieving, highly able, and talented students from Years 7-10 are identified through a rigorous process that uses Online Demand Testing in Literacy and Numeracy, NAPLAN results, teacher recommendations, and end-of-semester academic reports.

All teachers will have access to an accurate and updated list of high achievers. This will ensure that teachers can meet the demands of the High Achievers by continuously challenging them through differentiation of the curriculum.

The college maintains a very high academic expectation of all students. Students are consistently encouraged to ensure that they work to their full potential. The High Achiever Co-ordinator regularly reviews the students in the program to ensure that an effective and successful program is developed and maintained to sustain a high academic standard.  The High Achiever program does not guarantee a placement for students whose academic results do not reflect their potential.
