Location: Online
Description: Podcast launch
We are excited to share a special podcast episode featuring Jacqui Wilkinson, Acting Director of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, in conversation with Maree Karaka, Leader of High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE).
Together, Jacqui and Maree delve into how the Diocese’s HPGE Strategy is being brought to life across our schools—moving beyond policy documents to create dynamic learning environments where high potential is identified early, nurtured intentionally, and celebrated holistically. The episode shines a light on the Virtual Academy, a flagship initiative that extends and enriches the learning of gifted students through personalisation, challenge, and creativity.
