Opportunity classes

What is an Opportunity Class?

An Opportunity Class (OC) engages identified highly achieving and academically gifted Year 5 and 6 students in a classroom setting with classmates at their own academic and social level.

At Ashfield Public School, an Opportunity Class extends and enriches learning according to the Whole School Scope and Sequence. OC students learn alongside their peers from other mainstream classes, with an emphasis on collaborative learning and building strong friendships across the entire grade.

OC participate in certain learning initiatives specifically designed for students who can progress through the curriculum at a faster pace. These initiatives develop the content, processes and skills of the Stage 3 curriculum.
