Enrichment Class 

The Enrichment Class aims to provide a high quality, authentically rigorous educational programs for high ability students within a nurturing Catholic environment, thus enhancing the whole person. This program utilises best practice gifted and talented educational strategies, through specialist qualified staff, delivering a differentiated enrichment program to challenge and engage high ability students.

How is the Enrichment Class different?

  • Only teachers with a Gifted and Talented qualification are able to teach this class.

  • Program delivery is specifically designed to meet the learning needs of high ability students.

  • Gifted and Talented educational strategies have been integral in the development of programs.

  • High ability students learn at a faster pace and require more rigour to maintain their interest and to be challenged to allow them to meet their learning potential.

  • Students (as are all students at Holy Spirit College) are monitored and supported to address their social and academic needs through the College’s Pastoral Care System.

  • Students have demonstrated academic potential in their specific domain (Literacy or Numeracy).

  • The Enrichment Classes run in the Key Learning Areas of Mathematics, English, HSIE & Science.

  • Students in other domains such as creative and performing arts and sport are also offered a variety of enrichment opportunities across the college.
