Academic Enrichment

At Grace Lutheran College, we recognise that all students have gifts and talents that require stimulating and challenging learning programs. To support these particular student needs, we offer a suite of Academic Enrichment and Ignite Excellence programs and opportunities.

WHAT IS ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT?

At Grace Lutheran College, our Academic Enrichment Department supports students who are:

Intellectually gifted; or
Demonstrate high levels of academic talent for their age within a given field or subject.

Gifted students who join the Academic Enrichment program receive personalised support and individualised Academic Enrichment Plans, identifying their areas of strength and growth. Co-curricular competitions and excursions are also on offer for these students, as are accelerated classes and learning opportunities.

All students at Grace Lutheran College can also apply for the Ignite Excellence Programs, as part of our Academic Enrichment activities. These programs are for students who are demonstrate high levels of talent within particular subject areas - not just academics. Students do not have to be in the Academic Enrichment Program to qualify for the Ignite Excellence Programs.

IGNITE EXCELLENCE PROGRAMS

At Grace Lutheran College, we want to encourage every student to identify and unpack all their God-given gifts and talents.

As such, all students at Grace Lutheran College can also apply for our Ignite Excellence Programs and Opportunities. These programs are for students who demonstrate high levels of talent within a particular subject area. Students do not have to be in the Academic Enrichment Program to qualify for the Ignite Excellence programs and opportunities.

Students are encouraged to apply for the Ignite Excellence programs and opportunities during Term 2 of the year prior to entry. Late applications are accepted throughout the year, but subject to availability. Use the link below to view the various Ignite Excellence activities and their application packages.
