Lots of new reviews

Well, it has been a while since I have written, so I need to make up for lost time. First of all, you may or may not have noticed that Catriona Coote has been busy putting up a range of reviews of children's books on this site - simply hit the Reviews menu item so see the range of reviews for all types of readers.

Secondly there was an outage at the hosting server last week on Wednesday morning Sydney time that had the site down for a number of hours. This appears to have been due to a permissions gremlin at the hosting server which was fixed after we drew their attention to the problem. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this caused.

Did you know?

Gifted children vary a lot. Some are great at sports. Some have disabilities. Children can be gifted or not along one or more of a large number of dimensions. Labels like "gifted" need to be used carefully as all children are different.

NSWAGTC Blogs

The blogs appearing on the NSWAGTC site are designed to provide colour, news and subjective views about the many issues and concerns facing gifted children and their parents, care-givers and educators.

Some of the blogs are associated with formal roles of the NSWAGTC, such as the President and the Webmaster. These allow the persons filling these roles to note to members any current news and changes.

Other NSWAGTC blogs are written by individuals with experience of gifted children from one or more perspectives - for example Cate's Blog is from the viewpoint of a primary school teacher and parent of gifted children. These blogs are written solely by the person identified and represent his or her views, rather than necessarily those of the NSWAGTC.
