Supporting High Potential Learners

Nurturing High Potential Learners at St Ambrose’s School

At St Ambrose’s, we believe every child is capable of achieving great things when they are supported, challenged, and inspired. Our approach to High Potential Learners is guided by a holistic framework that provides meaningful opportunities for students to extend themselves, explore their passions, and take their learning to the next level.
 

Extension and Enrichment in the Classroom

Using resource and strategies, our experienced teachers create learning opportunities that stretch students’ thinking and expand their skills. This ensures that High Potential Learners are both supported and challenged within their everyday classroom experience.
 

Buzzing Brains

All students at St Ambrose’s take part in this specialist teaching program, designed to activate critical and creative thinking. Through problem-solving, design thinking, and hands-on experimentation, students are encouraged to think deeply, question widely, and imagine boldly.
 

Personalised Pathways

Selected students engage in individual or small-group sessions during the week, working on passion projects that draw on their unique strengths and interests. These pathways allow students to go deeper into areas they love while developing skills that prepare them for future success.
 

Specialised Programs

Throughout the year, selected students are invited to represent our school in a range of enrichment programs and competitions. These include Gateways, Debating, STEM MAD, and ICAS, which allow students to connect with like-minded peers, extend their learning, and challenge themselves in new environments.
 

Celebrating Talent

Through events such as St Ambrose’s Got Talent, we celebrate the diverse gifts and talents of our students. These showcases provide an opportunity for children to shine in front of their peers and inspire others with their creativity, confidence, and abilities.
 
At St Ambrose’s School, we are committed to fostering a love of learning, developing student confidence, and providing pathways that allow our High Potential Learners to flourish. By nurturing curiosity and celebrating talent, we empower every child to thrive both within and beyond the classroom.​
