Rising Stars – Unlocking High Potential
Gifted & Talented at Hilder Road – Become a Hilder Hero!
At Hilder Road State School, we recognize that every child is unique, with their own strengths, talents and passions. For students who are gifted, talented, or demonstrate high ability across different learning areas, we endeavour to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment that challenges, supports and inspires them to excel.
Why is this important?
As parents, we all want our children to be engaged, excited, and motivated to learn. Gifted and high-ability learners often require opportunities beyond the standard curriculum to keep them intellectually stimulated, socially connected, and emotionally supported. At Hilder Road, we ensure that these students have access to meaningful learning experiences that push their boundaries, encourage creativity and problem-solving, and foster a lifelong love of learning.
What does this look like?
We offer a range of bespoke programs tailored to extend and enrich our students' learning. These include:
- Academic Extension & Enrichment – Opportunities for students to engage in challenging, higher-order thinking tasks in literacy, numeracy, STEM, and the arts.
- External Competitions & Partnerships – Students can participate in academic challenges, competitions, and collaborative programs with external organisations to extend their learning beyond the classroom.
- Creative & Critical Thinking Development through the Arts – Activities that promote innovation, problem-solving, and curiosity, helping students build skills for future success.
-Leadership & Social Connection – Encouraging our high-achieving students to connect with like-minded peers, develop leadership skills, and build confidence in their abilities.
- Tailored Learning Pathways – A commitment to understanding each student's individual needs, ensuring they have the right support and opportunities to thrive.
