Individual Differences Program

Extending and challenging

The Individual Differences Department is located in our Madeleine Sophie Barat Centre.  The Centre was established to build a community of learners, thinkers, strivers, darers and dreamers.

The structure of the Centre is such that, at any one time, we are hosting a single student or group of students.  The confident hum within the Centre reflects a feeling of freedom and the students adopt an attitude of openness to learning.  Students and teachers alike strive to devise, review, create, recreate and reflect.

Programs and units of work are designed to facilitate learning and to ensure that all students will be motivated by a variety of stimuli and teaching styles.  The staff involved are committed to providing a range of opportunities in which each student can optimise her learning.

The Centre caters for:

• extension, enrichment, specialisation and support, often in individual programs, to assist student progress
• the needs of both highly able students and those students with specific learning difficulties.
