High Potential Gifted Education
At Broken Hill Public School, we offer a wide range of engaging programs, with a focus on high potential and gifted education. This area of learning is dedicated to identifying and nurturing students who demonstrate exceptional abilities, talents, or potential across intellectual, creative, social-emotional, or physical domains. These students often require differentiated learning experiences that go beyond the standard curriculum to remain challenged and engaged. Programs in this area aim to provide enrichment, acceleration, and personalised support to help high-potential learners reach their full capabilities while fostering wellbeing, resilience, and a love of learning.
