Outline

Tarneit Rise Primary School and Preston High School were winners of the inaugural Victorian Education Excellence Award for Outstanding Provision for High Ability Students. Tarneit Rise Primary School is a highly aspirational and inclusive community school where high-ability students’ individual strengths, whether academic, social, creative or physical, are identified, acknowledged and nurtured towards excellence. Preston High School is an inspiring new school with a learner-growth focussed curriculum, teaching practice and assessment methodology. Through the leading-edge application of developmental rubrics that are linked to curriculum maps the school uses data and engages learners so there is a seemless, easy and shared understanding of students’ next steps for learning skill-by-skill in every subject.
