High potential and gifted education
The Katoomba High School High Potential and Gifted Education program supports every student, across all learning stages to achieve their educational potential, through talent development opportunities. Differentiated teaching and learning practices ensure that student’s specific learning and wellbeing needs are met. This initiative is an evolution of our previous 'Enrichment' program.

Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.
At our school, we recognise and nurture these strengths early. We support advanced learners with great lessons and activities to help them grow and thrive.
