The Inspire Program

for Gifted & Talented Students

Canberra High School offers the Inspire Program to cater specifically for the enriched education and the individual needs of our gifted and talented students. Inspire is embedded across all areas of excellence in the school, including academic, creative, sporting and leadership pursuits. A student may be extended in either one or more subject area and options for accelerated learning are also available.

Inspire students are granted genuine extension opportunities as an enriched alternative to the mainstream assessment criteria. These tasks are carefully designed in conjunction with both an expert teacher and the school’s gifted and talented coordinator, specifically for the interests of the student.

Inspire students are also extended both culturally and socially through philosophy classes held regularly with their peers. These lessons support deep thinking and offer a wonderful opportunity to meet other like-minded students. We also encourage the students to participate in competitions and excursion opportunities.

For more information, please do not hesitate to contact the school’s Gifted & Talented Coordinator, Rebecca Arnold on 6205 7024 or via email at rebecca.arnold@ed.act.edu.au
