The Northern Territory Department of Employment, Education and Training has published its 12 page 2006 "Policy for the Education of Gifted Students in the Northern Territory" together with a supporting Gifted Education website which provides access to a range of supporting materials.
"The Northern Territory Policy for the Education of Gifted Students 2006 sets out basic principles and recommendations aimed at enhancing education of gifted students in all Northern Territory schools. It acknowledges that the success of its implementation depends on the development of partnerships between the school, the parents, the tertiary and industry sectors and the wider community.

The Northern Territory Government is committed to providing the best possible education for all students and acknowledges that all students, including those who are gifted, should engage in learning that:
• recognises their particular needs and special abilities;
• further develops their talents and potential capacity;
• assists with promoting their optimum development;
• builds upon their existing levels of learning;
• engages, inspires, motivates and challenges them.

This Policy is inclusive of all gifted students in the Northern Territory. The Territory is a multicultural society with a wide range of ethnic groups, including a large indigenous population. Giftedness is evidenced in all groups of our society, including students with disabilities."

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
Mary W. Shelley, English Novelist (1797-1851)

Information Centre Items

THE INFORMATION Centre contains a huge range of articles intended to assist parents, care-givers, teacher/ducators and others interested in gifted children and their issues.

The majority of Information Centre articles will be restricted to Financial Members with just an introductory paragraph available for non-Financial Members so they know what they are missing! Please become a Financial Member both to gain full access and to help the NSWAGTC work in the interests of gifted children.

If you would like to contribute an item to help us help our readers, please:

  • Read the Site FAQs (top menu) | How to contribute content - this will give you all the reference information
  • Email the webmaster to ask to be given "author" status after you have registered on the site or if you have any problems or issues or other suggestions
  • Note that contributed items will be checked for consistency with the chosen information category before being published

The NSWAGTC encourages a wide range of quality resource items. Each item is nonetheless written by individuals with varying experience and perspectives of gifted children and represents the author's views, rather than necessarily those of the NSWAGTC (unless they are marked as Position Statements).

Comments are invited

We also invite useful comments on our Information Centre articles, by both Registered and Financial Members. Comments provide an opportunity to communicate with authors and to augment the information provided by an item.
