St Mary’s is excited to be launching a new gifted and talented program in 2021, providing tailored learning delivered by curriculum experts who are trained in gifted education.
Within this program, high-potential students are appropriately challenged and extended in an inclusive and supportive environment.
The college’s high-performing academic senior students are also given opportunities to excel in a diverse range of general subjects, in areas such as mathematics, science, English, humanities, the arts, languages, health and physical education and technologies.
