Gifted and Talented: Primary Extension and Challenge (PEAC)

Assessment of Year 4 students will take place during Week 3 of this term.

For more information 'Read More".

The PEAC program provides part time extension and enrichment for exceptionally able students in Years 5 and 6.

PEAC offers a range of courses that provide the most able students with work that is intellectually challenging.

All students in Year 4 will have the opportunity to be assessed for suitability for the PEAC program.

Students who are performing well at school are possible candidates for the program.

There are some students in Year 4 whose potential is not so easily recognised.

There may be students who are underachieving at school and there are some students who demonstrate certain skills and abilities more at home than at school.

Together, we can ensure that all students who have the potential for high academic performance are identified.

The test will measure the student's ability to recognise patterns and to predict with speed and accuracy and measure each child's ability to apply their knowledge and learning.

The scores from the test will be used in the selection of students for PEAC courses and extension programs during 2017 to 2018.

If you do not wish your child to be included in the PEAC assessment please notify the school in writing before Monday 1st August. 

Yours sincerely,

Amy McEwen

Acting Associate Principal
