Overview

  • The High Achievers Program (HAP) is offered at select Victorian government secondary schools, providing enriched and extended learning opportunities for academically talented students.
  • HAP differs from SEAL in that students typically remain in their year level but receive differentiated, more challenging curriculum content.
  • Entry is based on academic performance, cognitive ability testing, and school recommendations.

Who Is This For?

  • Year 6 students applying for Year 7 HAP entry.
  • Also suitable for mid-year entry at some schools.
  • Designed for high-achieving students who want academic enrichment without full acceleration.
