Year 7 Enrichment Class 2026
Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School promotes engagement across the intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical domains of giftedness and high potential. We are committed to providing high quality differentiated learning experiences to support academic achievement and growth for all students, in all classrooms.
To cater specifically to high potential and gifted students in the Intellectual domain, we offer an Enrichment Class for students who are academically gifted, or who show high academic potential.
In 2026, students who are successful in gaining entry to the Enrichment Class will be engaged in learning opportunities that challenge and inspire them to achieve and stretch their potential. Teachers of the enrichment class work together to provide the highest level of academic rigour and specialised learning programs.
Entry into the Year 7 Enrichment class is determined through both a Placement Test and an Application Form.
Placement Test:
The Australian Council of Educational Research General Ability Test (AGAT) is an online test to assess students’ general reasoning ability. Students will be provided with a computer to access this test at Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School. Testing takes 50 minutes and contains 30 – 40 questions.
The test assesses students’ reasoning skills in five areas:
Verbal | Numerical | Abstract (Visual) | Kinetic | Spatial
Placement Test Date:
The placement test will be held on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 May 2025. Please note: Your child only needs to attend one of these days. You will be contacted with the date and time of your child’s test once applications have closed.
Application form:
The application form is an online document that we request both you and your child complete. There are three questions in the form that are required to be completed by your child. The questions are as follows:
1) What specifically encouraged you to apply for the Enrichment Class at Nepean CAPA High School?
