High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE)

At Merewether High School, High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) is intrinsic to our culture of excellence. As an academically selective school, we are deeply committed to identifying, nurturing and extending the diverse capabilities of our students across the intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional domains.

We foster intellectual growth through a curriculum that promotes deep understanding, critical and creative thinking, and the transfer of learning across contexts. We also value the cultivation of creativity, physical proficiency and social-emotional intelligence as integral to holistic development. These capacities are enriched through purposeful curriculum design and authentic cross-curricular opportunities that encourage students to innovate, collaborate and lead.

Guided by our values of excellence, integrity and diversity, Merewether High School empowers high potential and gifted learners to realise their potential and contribute meaningfully within and beyond the school community.
