High potential and gifted education
At Hoxton Park High School, we believe every student has high potential, whether in creativity, critical thinking, leadership and sport. We recognise and nurture these strengths from the start, providing engaging opportunities to help all students grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.
What is high potential and gifted education?
At our school, High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) is designed for students who aim to excel in different areas, offering them the challenges and support needed to fully develop their abilities.
We do this through:
- effective teaching strategies like enrichment, extension and acceleration
- tailored support during lessons that stretch, challenge and inspire
- access to a wide range of opportunities both within and beyond our school.
Our high potential and gifted education opportunities
Our students engage with HPGE education in the classroom, in our school, and across NSW.
Our school offers extensive extra-curricular programs across sport, academic, career, creative, and leadership areas, giving students the chance to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build meaningful connections. These programs help students grow personally and socially while preparing them for future opportunities.
