High potential and gifted education

At Denham Court Public School, we are committed to nurturing the potential of every child through a broad and dynamic range of High potential and gifted education (HPGE) programs. From Kindergarten to Year 6, our classrooms provide rich, engaging and challenging learning experiences that build capacity, spark creativity, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Students in Years K–6 have access to a specialised differentiated curriculum, while all students K–6 benefit from differentiated support tailored to their individual strengths and needs. Our teachers explicitly embed critical and creative thinking strategies across all key learning areas, ensuring that every child is encouraged to think deeply, solve problems and innovate.

With a robust curriculum and thoughtfully selected resources, our HPGE students are continually challenged to achieve at the highest levels, while still meeting curriculum outcomes. At Denham Court, we create opportunities for all learners to thrive, excel and shine.

Denham Court Public School is proud to offer a wide range of High potential and gifted education (HPGE) programs that nurture the talents of our students across all domains from Kindergarten to Year 6.

In the intellectual domain, our students extend their thinking through weekly Mathematics Enrichment lessons, Enrichment Writing Club, Public Speaking Club, Book Club, and Technology Clubs, which include 3D Printing, Game Design, STEM, and Lego Robotics and Technics.

In the creative domain, students explore and develop their artistic abilities through explicit, specialist-taught Visual Arts lessons in drawing and painting, fostering imagination and creative expression.  We also provide performance opportunities in dance and choir at a school and state level.

Our physical domain is supported through competition sporting clubs, where students build skills and teamwork in touch football, soccer, cricket, athletics, and swimming.

In the social-emotional domain, we provide students with a range of opportunities to grow as confident leaders and valued members of our school community through school-wide public speaking, student leadership programs, and strong wellbeing initiatives.

At Denham Court Public School, we are committed to recognising and extending the gifts and talents of all students, ensuring they are challenged, inspired, and supported to achieve their personal best.

At Denham Court Public School, we are proud to deliver a rich and diverse range of High potential and gifted education (HPGE) programs that extend students from Kindergarten to Year 6, nurturing their talents and accelerating their learning.

Our students are inspired to excel through academic challenges such as the Maths Olympiad, Tournament of Minds, Game Changer Challenge, Whitlam Institute Writing Competition, Premier’s Debating Challenge, and regional Public Speaking competitions. These programs give students authentic opportunities to apply critical thinking, creativity, and advanced problem-solving skills beyond the classroom.

In the creative and performing arts, students are supported to showcase their abilities through Visual Arts and Dance enrichment programs, Cantabile Choir, as well as our Concert Band and Training Band, with many representing our school on local and state stages.

We also offer Technology Clubs, leadership pathways, the Premier’s Sporting Challenge, Gala Days, and State-wide knockout competitions, ensuring students are engaged, extended, and supported across intellectual, creative, social-emotional, and physical domains.

At Denham Court Public School, we pride ourselves on delivering dynamic HPGE programs that inspire curiosity, challenge students to achieve their personal best, and provide a strong foundation for future success. Every child is given the opportunity to discover their strengths, shine in their passions, and thrive in a supportive and ambitious learning environment.
