Drysdale Primary School participates in the Victorian High-Ability Program (VHAP), an online program designed to extend high-ability students in Years 5-8. This program, delivered by Virtual School Victoria (VSV), offers 10-week online courses in English and Mathematics, with students attending a weekly 60-minute virtual session.

After the online program, students participate in face-to-face masterclasses with other high-ability students from their local area to consolidate their learning and build relationships.
