Gifted Education

Eudaimonia

At Perth College, we recognise that gifted and high-potential students have unique educational needs that cannot be met through a one-size-fits-all model. Our Eudaimonia Program is purposefully designed to foster academic excellence within an inclusive, supportive environment — where gifted students are not only challenged, but inspired to thrive.

Targeting identified students across both our Junior and Senior Schools, the program provides a robust and enriched learning experience. Through a combination of rigorous curriculum, quality teaching, and specialised pathways, our students are empowered to explore their full potential.

These experiences are designed to stretch their thinking, spark creativity and promote deeper understanding, while preventing disengagement or ‘coasting’ in the classroom.

Collaborative Support and Differentiated Learning

Our Learning Engagement team works closely with Heads of Department, classroom teachers, and specialist staff to implement meaningful differentiation across subjects and year levels. The level of challenge is carefully tailored to meet each student’s ability, interests and learning style — ensuring all students are supported and extended in equal measure.

A Holistic Approach to Growth and Wellbeing

Through collaboration with our InsideOut program, students have access to specialists who provide targeted wellbeing support — helping them navigate the unique emotional challenges that can arise for gifted and twice-exceptional students.

We also actively monitor student progress to identify and address underachievement early, ensuring every student is seen, heard, and guided toward their personal best.

Expert-Led, Research-Based Practice

The Eudaimonia Program is led by a Masters-qualified Gifted Education Specialist as part of our Learning Engagement team. In addition, many of our staff have undertaken advanced training, including the Mini-Certificate of Gifted Education from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), equipping them with the skills to deliver high-quality, research-informed differentiation in the classroom.

Together, our team is committed to delivering an equitable and empowering learning experience — one that celebrates potential and facilitates the pursuit of excellence.
