Camelot Rise Primary School

Camelot Rise Primary School actively caters for students with high intellectual potential and special talents.

Our school recognises that 'Gifted and Talented" students learn at a much faster rate. They can conceptualise ideas and solve problems at a much faster pace than their peers. Gifted and talented students are intense with their learning and often study areas at great depth. They perform best when interested, stimulated and challenged and they enjoy working with like-minded students.

A combination of measures is used to identify the gifted or talented student. They can range from a formal assessment conducted by CHIP Programs (Children with High Intellectual Potential), parent nomination, checklists, student self-assessment, achievement tests and teacher observation.

Camelot Rise has put in place an action plan to provide gifted and talented students with challenging and exciting curriculum and extra-curricula activities. This ensures quality programs for students are accessible on a daily basis.

The further development of programs that cater for highly able students has been a charter priority over the past three years. Consequently, the staff at Camelot Rise have an excellent understanding of the needs of gifted and talented students and are committed to providing the best possible program that caters for the individual, reflecting their preferred learning styles and interests. This is reflected in the 'Gifted Students Policy' available at the school office.
