Academic Enrichment Program

At Mount View High School, we recognise that students can display potential in different ways, which might be one or more of the following domains:

        ·  Intellectual

        ·  Social/Emotional

        ·  Creative

        ·  Physical

We are committed to identifying students with high potential and creating a personalised and responsive learning environment. Our Academic Enrichment program is designed to challenge and extend students in all four domains of potential and aims to equip students with the competencies needed to be successful life-long learners.

Children who are suited to the Academic Enrichment program typically display the following qualities:

   ● An exceptional love of learning

   ● A growth mindset

   ● Capacity to plan and work independently and        collaboratively to achieve a goal

We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands. We acknowledge the 3 language groups in our AECG area. The Awabakal people, the Wonnarua people and the Darkinjung people. We show respect to our Elders past and present, along with the leaders of the future who are learning and carrying forward our traditions and culture both here at school and in the wider community. We extend that respect to the Aboriginal people present today, as well as the non-Aboriginal people here, as we continue working together on carrying our culture forward.
