High potential and gifted education

Supporting every student’s learning journey in the classrooms of Narromine Public School

At our school, we tailor learning experiences to meet students’ individual needs through differentiated tasks that adjust in pace, complexity, and encourage higher-order thinking. We use ongoing formative assessments to monitor progress and adapt teaching strategies, ensuring all students are challenged and supported.

Our advanced learning pathways offer opportunities for acceleration and deeper exploration, with explicit teaching of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students engage in inquiry-based and cross-curricular projects that promote creativity, choice, and authentic learning.

In Physical Development, Health and Physical Education, we provide targeted and differentiated activities that build coordination, agility, and control, alongside chances to lead in team strategies and demonstrations. Flexible grouping encourages collaboration, ideation, and presentation skills.

We foster a safe and supportive environment where students are confident to take risks, persevere, and reflect on their learning. Through strengths-based feedback, goal setting, and peer collaboration, we promote leadership and self-assessment, helping every child to thrive.

Explore how we nurture passion, creativity, and lifelong learning in every student.

Enriching opportunities beyond the classrooms at Narromine Public School

Our school offers a wide range of programs and activities designed to support student growth, foster talents, and build confidence. From debating and STEM and interest groups to academic competitions and critical thinking workshops, students have many ways to explore their interests and develop new skills.

We celebrate creativity through school musicals, dance ensembles, visual arts and drama showcases, and creative writing groups. For those passionate about sport, our sport squads, house competitions, and performance-based movement groups provide opportunities to stay active, develop teamwork, and achieve personal goals.

We also emphasise leadership and community, with peer mentoring, Student Representative Council (SRC) roles, and wellbeing programs that support every child’s sense of belonging and resilience. Participation in whole-school inclusion and wellbeing initiatives ensures a safe and supportive environment where every student can thrive.

The Premier’s Spelling Bee encourages vocabulary development and attention to detail in a competitive setting, while the Kerry Parkes Debating Challenge builds logical reasoning and public speaking confidence.

Through involvement in the Tournament of the Minds (TOM), students tackle future-focused problems using design thinking, empowering them to become creative problem solvers. The iconic Schools Spectacular showcases the diverse talents and creativity of NSW public school students in a spectacular performing arts event.

Participation in state and regional drama, music, and dance ensembles fosters storytelling, technical skills, artistic expression, and ensemble awareness. Students also develop discipline and teamwork through the Premier’s Sporting Challenge and representative school sport pathways, competing at regional and national levels.
