High Potential and Gifted Education
With so many different ways to challenge and support students striving to reach their potential, we are always looking for new and engaging ways to do this. One way we cater for HPG here at Bobs Farm, is to provide individualised learning plans catering for students working above their expected peer level in certain areas. We have budding little mathematicians in K-1-2 who join the primary class during some numeracy sessions each week, to extend their skills and help them progress at a pace suited to them.
Another way is providing one-on-one opportunities for students like Ella, who has a real passion for mathematics and loves testing out her mathematical thinking, to tackle open-ended tasks like calculating how many coins could be in a collection, given a limited number of clues.
Can you solve Ella's coin challenge too?
How many coins could there be?
How many coins could there be?
Consider a collection of coins with the following constraints:
When the coins are put in groups of 2 there is one coin left over. When they are put in groups of three, five or six there is also one coin left over. But when they are put in groups of seven there are no coins left over. How many coins could there be?

We usually showcase work created by the Bobs Farm students here on this page. This time, it's the work of a student from Anna Bay.
Why are we sharing that here, you may ask?
Well, that's because it was some time ago that she was a student of Anna Bay, but now she's all grown up and has her own child here as a student at Bobs Farm!
Mrs Moore stumbled across this gem when sorting through some old resources and memorabilia here at school. This book, TALES FROM THE PENINSULA, was created by some teachers from various local schools to showcase the exceptional writing of students in Stages 3 and 4 whilst at the Tomaree Cluster of Schools Literacy Enrichment program in 1999.
What we love most about this story that Jayde created is that it's almost like a prophecy that she has fulfilled. How special to think that even back in primary school Jayde was reflecting on the kindness of humans and passing down stories over time. It seems only fitting that now we get to help her pass this story down, with her permission of course!
Thank you, Jayde, for sharing your talents and ongoing kindness with our community. You have clearly been, and continue to be, a treasured and valued leader among us.
