At Bonnyrigg High School, our commitment to fostering high potential and gifted students is exemplified through our comprehensive Intellectual Domain Program. This program is designed to challenge and engage students by providing numerous opportunities for extension and acceleration, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Students are encouraged to delve deeper into their subjects through a variety of extension activities, explicitly differentiated teaching and learning programs, and differentiated assessments. These activities challenge their understanding and push the boundaries of their knowledge, ensuring they remain engaged and motivated.
For students demonstrating exceptional aptitude in mathematics and science, we offer specialised acceleration programs. These programs allow students to advance through the curriculum at a faster pace, catering to their advanced learning needs and enabling them to tackle more complex concepts earlier in their educational journey. Our subject selection process is tailored to identify and support these students, ensuring they are placed in the appropriate programs.
To further enhance problem-solving skills and promote intellectual growth, we offer enrichment days for our Year 7 and 8 students. These dedicated days provide hands-on, practical experiences where students can collaborate on challenging problems, engage in critical thinking exercises, and explore innovative solutions.
Our students also have access to high-quality online resources such as Atomi and Edrolo, which support their learning with tailored video lessons and practice questions. Additionally, they can participate in various competitions, including the National History Competition, Maths Competition, Geography Competition, VALID, and the Game Changer Challenge. Extension courses are also offered to further broaden their academic horizons.
Our high potential and gifted program in the Intellectual Domain is designed to provide a stimulating and supportive environment where students can thrive. Through our targeted initiatives and dedicated support, we aim to cultivate the talents of our gifted learners, preparing them to excel academically and contribute meaningfully to society.
