Places within the Lighthouse Academic Excellence Program are very competitive, with a large number of students applying each year. We encourage all Lighthouse students to be ‘excellent’ in all facets of the school community and leaders in upholding our Stretton SPIRIT values. Applicants are assessed on academic results, behaviour, attitude and an exam. The program is specifically designed to develop 21st Century learners by maximising intellectual potential in an environment that promotes a strong culture of academic excellence. The program is designed to broaden and deepen students’ knowledge in English, Maths, Science and Humanities (in particular) allowing them to make a successful transition into the senior school and beyond. The aim of the Lighthouse Program is to provide an academically rigorous program for students in Years 4-9 who have demonstrated a strong interest and commitment towards their studies. There is one Lighthouse class per Year level with access to virtual classrooms and resources including preloaded content and extension tasks to enable them to pre-read, accelerate assessment timelines and extend in project areas of interest. The Lighthouse Curriculum Program focuses on developing, extending and enriching knowledge acquisition and higher order thinking from Years 4-9. Students are grouped with like-minded learners who are encouraged to extend their experiences beyond the classroom. The purpose of this program is to allow highly capable students opportunities to extend themselves in fields that are of interest to them, whilst developing thinking skills and being exposed to experiences that expand their horizons in all areas of their school life.
