High potential and gifted education
Students have unique learning styles, strengths, and paces. They may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.
At Hurstville Grove Infants School, we recognise and nurture these strengths early. We support advanced learners with inspiring lessons and activities to help them grow and succeed.
