Gifted and Talented

The Gifted and Talented Programme at JSR is one that challenges students to think outside of their comfort zone, to plan, innovate and collaborate. Students engage in a number of activities outside of the set curriculum developing problem solving skills and engaging in the investigation of new knowledge and its applications.

The programme involves engagement with a variety of specialist teachers covering a wide variety of subject areas and topics as well as partnered programmes with universities in Western Australia. These opportunities provide students with new challenges so that they can develop not only new knowledge and skills but the development of resilience in the face of challenge. Engagement with our optional in-school programme is by invitation only and is a full year commitment, invitations are then sent at the commencement of the new school year.

Students participating in the Gifted and Talented Programme will be encouraged to engage in a number of recognised competitions however, this is not the primary focus of our engagement programme. Engagement in our programme one year does not ensure placement in subsequent years.
