These 3 elements cater for the distinct and individualised needs of both gifted students and those with specific academic talent in a given subject area.
The College recognises the unique learning and personal needs of gifted students. The Academic Enrichment Program of the College incorporates dedicated staff who case manage our gifted students, partnering with the child, their teachers and their parents in order to achieve best outcomes. Our Academic Enrichment staff are experienced in supporting students with perfectionism, anxiety, twice exceptionality, organisational struggles, time management challenges and study skill needs. Individualised Academic Enrichment Plans are written for gifted students, identifying their areas of strength and growth. Co-curricular competitions and excursions are also on offer for these students. Students do not have to be in the Academic Enrichment Program to qualify for the Ignite Excellence Programs. Our Ignite Excellence Programs are for students who are demonstrating high levels of talent within particular subject areas.
With specialised classes, curriculum programs and extra opportunities designed to meet the needs of these highly able students, Ignite Excellence offers a world of enrichment for your child.
Bright Minds Festivals are an annual event dedicated to primary age students. Designed to inspire, engage and unite bright young minds, participants have the opportunity to register to a range of workshops and activities. The list of workshops on offer each year is extensive and often includes flying drones, cooking candy, writing creative stories, experimenting with chemical reactions, coding robots, tennis, sports science, hands-on building tasks and more. The Bright Minds Festival strives to showcase to students that a world of opportunities exists at Grace Lutheran College – no matter what their interest or area of talent.
