Run by the Catholic Schools Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, the gifted education program gives year five to year eight students a chance to explore their passions and interests.
Gifted education lead Maree Karaka said students were able to take their learning beyond the curriculum and connect with issues in their communities.
“It’s about critical and creative thinking, it’s about problem-solving. We need to start to navigate for tomorrow, not just for today,” she said.
