Enrichment Classes

At HSPS we offer enrichment classes for students in year 1 to year 6 students using assessment data. These students show apptitude in the intellectual domain and have been grouped into enrichment classes. In these classes they are provided with the opportunity to work to their full potential with extension tasks and open ended challenges. These classes are fluid and change each year.

Stage 3 Classes, STEM Play Day

Students were given the opportunity to learn all about coding in STEM from UTS. They participated in a coding program at school where they learnt key skills and got creative. They were then able to visit UTS on an exciting STEM play day to put all of their new skills to the test.

Opportunity Class, Investigating Air Quality

Students in the Opportunity Class participate in the Fresh Air Innovators Program.

Fresh Air Innovators is a free, curriculum-aligned program developed by the University of NSW and supported by the NSW Office of the Chief Scientist and Engineer through the NSW Natural Hazards STEM Support Program.

Each lesson empowers students with hands-on STEM activities and real-world skills. The program equips students with the means to tackle environmental challenges, build resilience and make a positive impact in their schools and communities.
