The enrolment committee at Gymea reviews all enrolment applications. You may be invited to attend an interview with the school to discuss the application and provide an opportunity for us to meet your family and to get to know your child.
For successful applicants, we will arrange for the transfer of your child’s details and the process begins for a successful transition to high school as we begin our successful Head Start to High School program.
Our HPGE Program Information session provides our community with details about how our programs cater for our high potential students and the application process.
Advanced Learning Pathway: STEM and Academics
The Advanced Learning Pathway: STEM and Academics is designed for students who thrive in academically rigorous learning environments and have a strong interest in STEM and technology.
The program offers enriched and in-depth study across core subjects while integrating advanced technology learning and problem-solving experiences.
Students develop strong study habits, analytical thinking and collaborative skills aligned to the expectations of senior secondary learning. The pathway supports accelerated learning opportunities, early exposure to HSC-style study, and preparation for high-level academic achievement and university pathways.
All students are invited to participate in the High Potential and Gifted Education program student assessment process. Placement in the Advanced Learning Pathway: STEM and Academics class in Year 7 is determined using multiple sources of evidence, including student performance in assessments of literacy, numeracy and writing skills conducted in May, as well as information provided by primary schools. Parents and carers are invited to submit additional documentation to support the application, including records of academic achievement, NAPLAN data, participation in literacy and numeracy competitions, school reports or other relevant information.
