NOT all students learn the same way and at Greater Shepparton Secondary College (GSSC), that difference is celebrated. For students who show advanced thinking, deep curiosity, or a desire to go further, GSSC offers something unique: the High Ability Program.
Open to selected students in Years 7 and 9, this program offers more than just academic extension. It’s an invitation to explore new ideas, take intellectual risks, and engage in learning that goes beyond the textbook. From advanced problem-solving to collaborative projects and rich discussions, students are immersed in a space where their abilities are recognised and challenged.
What sets the program apart is the mindset it builds. Students gain independence, resilience, and the ability to approach complexity with confidence skills that carry them through VCE and into future study or careers.
With the program now supporting 75 students and growing, families are encouraged to consider whether their child is ready for something more.
Applications for the 2026 intake are open, with expressions of interest closing on August 15.
A different kind of classroom awaits, one where high potential becomes real possibility.
