What is happening?
Over the next few months the NSWAGTC committee is revisiting our events program and designing new workshops, new presentations and new activities to address the needs of our members.
Our next key events are the 2e* forum on May 14, followed by our AGM on June 4. Both these events offer chances for conversation, learning and information for gifted families.
Later in 2011 we will be offering workshops that focus on drama, music making, science and creative activity. If you have ideas for events that you would like to see happening please let us know - adding comments to this item will provide us with an idea of what other events are relevant to our members.
Do you want parent information? Activities for children? Workshop days for parents and children together? Evening events? Discussion groups? Local events in areas outside of Sydney? THe more you tell us, the more effectively we can provide for your needs.
