Is selective education the right fit for my child?
High potential and gifted students can be found across diverse family, socio-economic, language, cultural backgrounds and geographic locations.
Your child may have high academic potential if they demonstrate some of the following:
· enjoy learning
· have intense curiosity
· display a good memory
· ask complex questions
· enjoy learning new and often complex ideas or skills
· require fewer repetitions when learning new things
· are creative
· become intensely focused in their area/s of interest.
Note: Not all high potential and gifted students will display all of these characteristics, for example, due to disability, disadvantage or lack of opportunity.
