“The Best Things about GT Online” ~ from our 2022 Year 10 Students
Connecting bright minds across the state
Gifted and Talented Online in WA
Gifted and talented children will do best in an environment that supports and stimulates them and fits well with their abilities and interests. Access to programs for children with exceptional academic potential allows them to flourish and receive the necessary extension, enrichment and acceleration they require.
Thanks to the use of innovative technology, students can access the online program without moving to Perth. The program can be accessed at any regional public secondary school outside of the Bunbury or Albany region. The program for Year 7 – 10 students is delivered from Perth Modern School.
Entrance to the GT Online Program is only available by examination administered by Gifted and Talented (GAT) at the WA Department of Education.
A sense of community is key
Building community is an important part of the program’s success. Regular communication between the student, parent, home school and GT Online Coordinator ensures the provision of support and guidance required to nurture each child’s wellbeing. Watch the video to hear what school leaders and parents have to say about the program.

Students travel to Perth twice a year to participate in two activity filled camps which offer:
- enrichment and extension activities, and practical based core curriculum tasks
- opportunities to build social connection among students and promote positive interaction with like-minded peers
- positive teacher – student interactions; maximising educational outcomes of participation in the program.
The students themselves give an account of their experience in GT Online.
