Leongatha Primary School Students Shine with the Victorian High Achievers Program

At Leongatha Primary School, we are committed to fostering the academic growth and potential of every student. We are excited to announce that a group of our high-achieving students has been selected to participate in the prestigious Victorian High Achievers Program—an incredible opportunity that allows them to extend their learning and challenge themselves further.

What is the Victorian High Achievers Program?

The Victorian High Achievers Program is an initiative by the Department of Education aimed at supporting gifted students who excel in areas such as mathematics, literacy, science, and other academic disciplines. Through the program, students engage in advanced coursework, participate in specialised workshops, and receive mentorship that helps to deepen their understanding and knowledge.

This program provides students with the chance to collaborate with like-minded peers from across the state in a stimulating environment, where they can push the boundaries of their learning. It encourages the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity—skills that will benefit them now and in their future academic pursuits.

Collaborating with Students Statewide

As part of this program, our students collaborate with high-achieving peers from other schools around the state. This collaborative experience not only allows them to share ideas and strategies but also exposes them to different perspectives, enriching their learning journey. Working together with students from diverse backgrounds fosters teamwork and communication skills, while also broadening their understanding of academic concepts.

Why is this Opportunity So Important?

For our high-achieving students, it’s essential to have opportunities that challenge them beyond the standard curriculum. Without proper extension, these students may become disengaged from their learning. The Victorian High Achievers Program ensures they continue to be intellectually stimulated, encouraging their love for learning and curiosity.

At Leongatha Primary School, we believe every student’s individual needs and abilities should be celebrated. This program provides an enriching experience for our gifted learners, allowing them to explore their strengths in a supportive and challenging environment.

What’s Next?

In the coming weeks, the students involved in the Victorian High Achievers Program will continue to engage in specialised learning modules that push them to explore topics in greater depth. Their collaboration with their peers from across the state will involve activities that promote independent thinking, teamwork, and advanced academic skills. We are excited to see how these students grow through this opportunity and can’t wait to celebrate their progress.

We are incredibly proud of our students and look forward to supporting them on their academic journey.
