Opportunities for our Academic Talent Pathway

Tweed River High School promotes engagement and challenge for every student in every classroom across intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical domains of potential, while explicitly identifying and addressing the learning needs of Academic Talent students. Our Academic Talent Program (ATP) is comprised of a range of initiatives across Year 7, designed to provide pathways for our students. Accelerative strategies such as curriculum compacting, mentoring, and telescoping supplement extension or enrichment of classroom learning encourage and nurture excellence. To develop the talents of our ATP students at Tweed River High School, we employ a range of teaching and learning strategies that build upon current learning strategies. These strategies can include flexible grouping, to ensure APT students often work with like-minded peers, coupled with differentiated curriculum using explicit instructional techniques. Teachers are trained in pedagogical practice to provide lesson structure, content, and assessment to enhance student outcomes.
