Gifted and Talented Week

Gifted students are often recognised by their natural abilities, characteristics and quick learning that are quite different from other children of the same age.

Some of these characteristics may include: a strong sense of curiosity; reading before school age; advanced reading ability and comprehension; understanding subject content beyond their age peers; ability to manipulate numbers from an early age; fewer repetitions needed for mastery; greater capability in abstract reasoning; knowledgeable in areas of passion; thrives on complexity and can see many points of view; mature sense of humour; and acutely aware of social justice issues.

This term, the students who attend S.P.E.E.K (St Paul's Extension and Enrichment Kids) displayed an interest in learning a second language. We are blessed to have two parents who are kindly donating their time to lead sessions, teaching the students Greek and Japanese. Thank you to Mrs Martin and Mrs Silvano for providing this opportunity to the students. If you see the S.P.E.E.K students around the school, ask them to say hello in Japanese or Greek!
