They still actually require the scaffolding to enable them to, you know, to actually reach their true potential. Kate Hutchinson: Teacher's best friend is collaboration and working with each other because it's a team profession.Īdrienne Bruce: These children really, truly actually do require the same level of support, even as much as our learning support children. I don't have that …the ability to identify kids. Jack Priestly: Without the other teachers that I have in my network, in my school, in my community of schools, in my state. These teachers will be actually working in with the schools, the principals, the executives and classroom teachers to share their knowledge and expertise of how we can really, really cater for these particular children. So the premise that we've actually established here now across the three community of schools - The Forest, The Beaches and The Pittwater network is to identify teachers who've got that particular knowledge and expertise of high potential gifted education. But when you sit back down there and actually look at our data and it actually shows that our really, really high performing children are actually not being challenged. Adrienne Bruce – Principal, Terrey Hills Public SchoolĪdrienne Bruce: One of the things I've actually noticed about being here at Terrey Hills is that our students are really, really interested in in learning. Voice Over: In identifying and catering to high potential and gifted students, small schools often need to reach out and expand their networks for expertise and support. Sam: It's a really small school, but there's two ovals which all the kids can play on, so it's pretty spread out You still get a school to collaborate with. There's probably a greater connection in a smaller school, even though you might not have a staff like a stage to collaborate with. Kate Hutchinson: There's a lot of differences with, I think, the community as well and the relationships that you can have with the parents in a smaller school. Kate Hutchinson – Teacher, Clunes Public School Jessie: I think that the best thing about going to a small country school is that you sort of know everyone and you're friends with everyone and you're not going to get excluded from anything. You get to know them inside and out and everything about them. Jack Priestly: Being in a rural setting, you get to make great connections, not just with the child, but the whole child. Jack Priestly – Teacher, Clunes Public School Voice Over: Small school settings can have many advantages for students and teachers.
