Higher Ability Learner (HAL)

The vision of Annandale Christian College is to be a college that celebrates life and learning through Christ-centred Education. Our school exists to assist Christian parents to raise wise, happy, obedient and kind students who are well-prepared to serve and influence their community. We do that by striving to teach excellently and by pursuing personal and team excellence.

We recognise that God has created all people with different skills and abilities, including High Ability Learners. To enable these students to achieve their God-given potential and to fully serve their communities, academic enrichment and appropriate differentiation is key to providing them with opportunities to develop these abilities.

High Ability Learners at ACC are usually formally identified using the SAGES 3 Screening Assessment for Elementary and Middle School Students. Students in primary year levels may be referred for assessment in consultation with the classroom teacher.
