The Tasmanian Department of Education has published its 6 page 2000 "Policy Statement: Education for Students who are Gifted" and a range of supporting material. "Students who are gifted should be provided with an appropriate range of flexible provisions in Tasmanian Government schools, to enable and support their development. While all students have strengths that should be valued and promoted, there is a small group of gifted students who require specifically targeted identification processes and programs in schools. Some provision is able to be provided in regular classrooms, while other programs may need to be additional.

It is intended that :
  • students who are gifted will be positively valued and supported and their special needs recognised;
  • government schools will offer a flexible range of provisions to cater for students who are gifted; and
  • students in gifted programs will be representative of the range of students, including students in disadvantaged groups."
Read the policy and access the support site.

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.
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.
