Highly Capable Student Program
Here at Moggill State School, we acknowledge that schools and children are about much more than academic grades. To nurture and develop our students in their wide ranging areas of talent, skill and interest, we offer a diverse enrichment program covering everything from the arts to public speaking, robotics to reading, pushing our talented kids to achieve their potential in every field.
As a Qld Academies Partnership School, Moggill is able to offer workshops and programs both during and after school time, to extend our academically capable students.
Through our extensive school music program and participation in the combined schools’ Creative Generation performances, we provide opportunities to extend and develop the skills of our artistically talented students.
In-school clubs like Opti-Minds, STEM Club and Readers Club, challenge our students to use and extend their thinking and problem solving skills.
Moggill State School teachers are constantly looking for engaging and exciting opportunities to extend the breadth and depth of learning experiences for our students, encouraging them to do and be their best.
