High Potential and Gifted Education Program

At Riverside, we offer the opportunity for students to apply to be placed in our High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) Program.

For the new Year 7 intake, a HPGE Information Evening will be held at the end of Term 1. Applications will open after this even and a link to register will be available on the school's website. Applicants will take a test one Saturday in Term 2 and those who are successful in this round will be invited to an interview.
