Primary Extension and Challenge (PEAC)

Talented and gifted students in Years 5 and 6 have the opportunity to participate in the Department of Education’s Primary Extension and Challenge (PEAC) program.

The PEAC program provides part-time supplementary academic extension programs for students who have been identified for participation through state-wide testing in Year 4. Students then participate in online and face-to-face programs run by PEAC teachers highly experienced in teaching gifted and talented children.

PEAC programs encourage:

  • social interaction with other gifted and talented children;
  • intellectual rigour and challenges;
  • interaction with practising experts;
  • development of higher-order process skills and in-depth investigation skills;
  • open-ended activities which encourage choice and negotiation; and
  • self/peer evaluation and reflection of performance.

Students from Inglewood Primary School are regularly selected to participate in the PEAC program. Further information can be found on the North Metro Education Region PEAC page.
