Co-Curricular Activities
Auburn Girls High School offers a variety of co-curricular activities that run alongside formal classroom learning. These activities extend student skills and knowledge, and provide authentic opportunities to develop talent in real world contexts.
The school’s co-curricular program is aligned to the High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) framework. The Department's HPGE policy recognises that students demonstrate high potential across the Creative, Intellectual, Physical and Social-emotional domains as outlined in Gagne's model.
Auburn Girls High School's co-curricular activities are talent development opportunities within the four domains.; they provide students with an environment and space to experience and explore their potential.
