Farewell to Julie

Last Friday was the final day in our office for Julie Porter-Stephens. For the last 3-4 years, Julie has been in the role of office manager and then events mamager. Prior to this Julie was a valuable committee member, contributing in many ways to the discussion and activity the Association planned.

In her time in the role, Julie established new connections at a regional and local level, worked to present interesting and varied workshops, created the online newsletter to let you know of events happening and I know spoke to many parents offering advice and encouragement. She has overseen the office team, even when the role changed during 2010.

Her contribution to our Association has been large and valuable. There are often struggles with equipment, with technology, with providing a varied program and Julie has always done what has to be done to support our membership.

Thank you Julie.

 

 

The committee is currently addressing the gap left in our organisation and will keep you, our memberhisp informed, through the website. For contact in the next few weeks, please use the email links identified on our website. This will enable messages to get through.

For events, the site will also provide you with information about spaces, changes and contacts.

 

 

Did you know?

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

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.

Applications, which should include a resume and a vision for the potential blog, and suggestions for new blogs, can be sent in the first instance to the webmaster.
