Year 7 Enrichment Class

Year 7 Enrichment Class 2025

Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School promotes engagement across the intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical domains of giftedness and 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 academic domain, we offer an enrichment class for students who are academically gifted, or who show high academic potential.

In 2025, 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 package.

Placement Test:

The Australian Council of Educational Research General Ability Test (AGAT) is an online test to assess students’ general reasoning ability.
