Bomaderry High School Stage 4 extension (4E) program

Bomaderry High School has transformed our 4E initiative into an inclusive gifted and high potential education program that supports students to RISE by  Recognising  their potential,  Inspiring  students by tapping into their interests through engagement opportunities, and helping young people to  Strive  for future success while  Empowering  them to be active and engaged in their learning.

The purpose of the 4E program is to accelerate, enrich and extend students through design thinking projects and cross-curriculum priorities. This unique two-year program also gives students the opportunity to participate in a variety of extra-curricular learning and leadership activities that enhance communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills.

Year 6 students need to have submitted an Expression of Interest to enrol at Bomaderry High School and are then invited to apply for the 4E Class online. Applications have closed for the 2025 class. Applications for the 4E Extension class for Year 7 2026 will be available in 2025.
