The **SMART8** program is a way of delivering curriculum that will provide enrichment opportunities to all students in Years 3- 6 at Glen Waverley Primary School. This program offers a range of activities that will extend the students’ learning and further their knowledge and skills in new or existing areas of interest and passion. The activities that will be made available to the students are based on Howard Gardiner’s eight multiple intelligences, thus the name of the **SMART8** program. This means we value learning and actively look for children’s strengths in each of the eight intelligences: Word Smart, Math/Logic Smart, Picture Smart, Body Smart, Music Smart, Group Smart, Self Smart and Nature Smart. The program will: · extend the curriculum offerings for **all** students in Years 3 - 6 · provide a range of stimulating and challenging opportunities to respond to  students’ different intelligences, learning styles and talents · extends students’ knowledge, skills and abilities through additional experiences · value and utilise the contributions of others · build positive relationships and develop respect The **SMART8** program runs across Levels 3 & 4 (Years 3 to 6). The activities are offered for one hour a week for 12 weeks of each semester. Over the 4 years children must participate in at least one activity from 6 of the SMART8 intelligences - Word Smart, Math/Logic Smart, Picture Smart, Body Smart, Music Smart and Nature Smart. We have not included activities for Interpersonal (Group Smart) and Intrapersonal (Self Smart) as these are integrated into many of the activities offered.

The activity's could increase your child's endurance, brain strength, intelligence, creativity, and thinking logic.
