The Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series provides extension and enrichment activities across the curriculum to engage, challenge and extend high-ability students. Each year BSC nominates students to participate in activities within the series according to their abilities and interests.

The Victorian High-Ability Program (VHAP) for Years 7 and 8 students gives Department nominated high ability students the opportunity to participate in 10-week online enrichment programs, in English and mathematics through Virtual School Victoria. After completing the virtual program, students participate in a face-to-face masterclass with other high-ability students from schools in their local area.

Priority of place is provided to students who are high ability and experience social-economic disadvantage, identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people or reside in a regional/rural area.

We offer extension options such as being involved in the Model United Nations.

In senior years, high ability students have the option of accelerating in VCE subjects at Year 10 as well as completing Higher Education Studies at Year 12 through the Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES).
