Pacific Plus

Many of our high ability learners received invitations to participate in Pacific Plus last week. We are excited to be introducing this program to Years 7 and 8, in 2022. Pacific Plus is a program designed to extend high ability learners and meet their unique learning needs.

PERMA and Lutheran Theology help shape the program approach to extending high ability learners. Building self-awareness and serving others are key goals. Authentic problem solving establishes an environment for developing agency, identity and relationships - along with an awareness of optimism about the future.  Inquiry projects are developed with an acknowledgement that individuals can inspire hope through embracing challenge.

Students are selected for Pacific Plus based on their performance in standardised tests of verbal and non-verbal reasoning ability as well as academic performance. If the aims of Pacific Plus sound exciting and you would like to be involved in something similar – please contact Mrs Sydes (Year 6-8) or Mrs Belchamber (Years 9-12) about Future Problem Solving as soon as possible.
