High Potential and Gifted Education

At Prestons Public School, we understand that some students progress more quickly and effortlessly than their peers, often demonstrating exceptional talents in creative, intellectual, physical, and social-emotional areas. We are committed to identifying and nurturing these abilities from an early stage.
