Schools are required to make provisions for SRE in accordance with the Education Act 1990 (NSW), which requires time to be set aside in government schools for religious education. Non-participating students attend alternative supervised activities.

At ÃÈÃÃÉç, Inspire – High potential and gifted education (HPGE) is embedded in our culture of excellence. As an academically selective school, we are committed to identifying, nurturing, and extending the diverse capabilities of our students across the intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional domains. We recognise that some students learn more quickly or in more complex ways than others, and we respond to these needs through a comprehensive approach to talent development.
Our learning approach
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting learning goals with each student
- giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and school
- helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
