Eagle Junction State School is committed to high quality educational outcomes for all students. We acknowledge the diversity of our student population and as such, we strive to provide an appropriate curriculum to cater for the learning needs of all students. Students who are gifted or highly capable are entitled to a curriculum provided at a pace, degree of abstraction and complexity and level consistent with their abilities so that they are identified and supported with appropriate strategies.
All teachers differentiate within their own classroom at Eagle Junction State School. Curriculum provision for gifted and highly capable students addresses their specific learning needs and can include a faster pace, a degree of abstraction, and the use of critical and creative thinking while processing more complex information. These all challenge the students to develop strategies for persevering with difficult problems.
Eagle Junction State School responds to the diverse learning needs of our gifted and highly capable students by implementing opportunities specifically designed to nurture their academic talents and further develop their skills at school through:
- Excursions
- Extension groups
- Debating
- Choir Program
- Instrumental Music Program
- Bands
- Chess Club
- Sporting Programs.
We also source off campus enrichment events and activities for our gifted and highly capable students to be involved in. Programs our students may be selected to participate in include:
- High Achievers Program
- Middle School Problem Solving Challenge
- Brisbane Maths Tournament
- City Collective Mini Festivals
- QASMT- STEM Scholar Program
- Kedron State High School INFUSE Program
- Solid Pathways
- QAMT Maths Quiz
- ICAS Competitions
- BRAINways Program.
It is our vision to enhance every student's opportunity to progress and achieve. Our objective for all students is that they feel valued in a learning environment, which is both challenging and supportive. Our EJ Learning Process allows teachers to differentiate for all. In addition, we endeavour to provide students with several enrichment and extension programs to help encourage and develop their critical and creative thinking.
