In 2024, Kiama High School will be introducing an Extension class. This class will implement evidence-based procedures, programs and practices to develop skills and knowledge required for high performance in academic education.
It will offer students the opportunity to work together on challenging learning or skills development that may not be offered in a mainstream school setting.
The KHS Extension class will focus on evidence-based development programs to extend students, including:
Students’ achievement in the KHS Extension Class will be evaluated at the conclusion of each year to determine the suitability of their placement in this class for the following academic year.
Students can apply for the Kiama High School Extension Class through the below QR code. Applications will be reviewed and applicants will be invited to sit the AGAT, a general reasoning test, assessing students’ higher order thinking skills. The questions in the test do not require any prior knowledge from any particular content area. Students are assessed on their ability to reason, make logical deductions, identify connections and spot patterns.
This test will be facilitated by Kiama High School in Term 1 for Year 6 students applying for entry to the 2024 Year 7 cohort and in Term 4 for Year 5 students applying for the 2025 Year 7 cohort.
Official registration for the 2024 Kiama High School Extension Class is currently open, closing on April 6 2023.
