“The Gifted and Talented program has helped me, as well as my peers, to challenge and extend ourselves. It can provide a more desirable learning environment that is distraction free. So far some of the extra-curricular activities I have been involved in include excursions to; Sci-tech, the Gin Gin observatory, Point Peron, Parliament house and the law courts. I have also been able to participate in Maths, Science, Geography and creative writing competitions (Book in a Day).”
