At Redbank Plains State High School, we believe it is important to develop all our students including our gifted students. Our goal is to engage each student in learning at a level that provides challenges suitable to their skills. Students who are talented in specific skills or fields have the opportunity to enter one of our Signature Programs.
Our Signature Programs provide extension in their field beyond the mainstream classroom. The program allows students to become autonomous learners who are actively engaged in the development of their skills and talents.
Sirius Academic Program
The Sirius Academic Program is designed to target students with high academic ability to develop their critical thinking , problem solving and independent learning skills. Identification is through an application process that is complemented by NAPLAN results, school reports and other standardised testing eg PAT R, PAT M. Students are in the Sirius Academic Class for their CORE subjects of English, Humanities, Maths and Science as well as our ACCESS wellbeing program.

SIGNATURE Sports Programs
At Redbank Plains State High School we offer a number of sport development programs: Basketball, Soccer and Volleyball. To be considered for inclusion in these programs student attend trial sessions and are chosen on their experience and ability. While students study the Australian Curriculum—HPE as do all Junior Secondary Students the aim of the sports development programs is to develop specialist skills in these particular sports while improving their fitness levels, playing techniques and game play.
