Arthur Phillip High School is proud of the educational opportunities available at our school for High Potential and Gifted students.
The Department of Education defines High Potential and Gifted Students as students whose potential exceeds that of their peers in one of the domains of potential.
The four domains of potential are academic, physical, socio-emotional and creative.
There are a number of curricular and extra-curricular offerings at the school.
Curricular:
Arthur Phillip High School runs a QUEST class dedicated to the needs of High Potential and Gifted Students.
Dedicated teachers differentiate the curriculum for greater challenge and interest of the students involved.
For entry in the QUEST class in year 7, applications are due the year before.
For students entering the school after year 7, these will be dealt with during the enrolment process. For application information see the section below.
Extra-curricular:
Arthur Phillip High School has a rich extra-curricular program suitable for students in talent areas of most Key Learning Areas.
We participate in a large variety of challenges and competitions and work with students who have particular talents to ensure that they are extended appropriately at all times.
Applications for the Year 7 2026:
Applications for Year 7 2026 will open soon. Please check back on the website/school Facebook page for updates.
