Very High Achievers Program (VHAP)

Barbara Cousens, Library Manager & Victorian High-Ability Practice Leader

VHAP Term 2 2025 Celebration: 

Our Victorian High Ability students for Term 2 were treated to a special morning tea and presented with certificates of participation. They were encouraged to invite a friend to join in with the celebration. Our principal class, teachers, and Study On tutors attended to congratulate the students and hear about how the program has challenged them. 

 

To enable our students to reach their full potential, including the high-academic students, the Department of Education has introduced the Victorian High-Ability Program (VHAP) initiative as part of the Student Excellence Program.   

 

This free high-achiever program stretches and challenges the minds of high-ability students, stimulating their critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity in English and mathematics without accelerating them through the core Victorian Curriculum. 

 

VHAP students include: 

Japjot - English Stream

Cohen - Maths stream

Ali G - Maths stream

 

Staff:
