Identification

Primary Extension and Challenge (PEAC) is a part time supplementary program for students in Years 5 and 6. Students are identified as suited to participation in the PEAC Program through testing in Year 4.

Test questions are multiple choice, of a contemporary nature and are separated into the following sub categories:

1. Reading Comprehension;
