Harry P and the Professors - Hogwarts in the Perth Hills

(please note this event is not organised by Thinking Ahead)

Enrolments are now open for the first ever Weekend Camp for gifted and talented children in Western Australia.  For the past 20 years Helen Dudeney has been running these camps in NSW for the NSWAGTC (gifted association) and she is excited to be able to bring them to Perth.

 The strength of the camps has always been the children themselves. Giving gifted children the opportunity to spend time with like minded peers engaged in interesting or challenging activities and social experiences is vital for their wellbeing.

 "If gifted and talented students are to achieve their potential, they require expanded educational opportunities beyond the scope of the regular school program.  The students need to explore different career options, crafts, ideas and skills that challenge their abilities. Our children need personal attention, adult commitment, role models they can admire and talk to."(Hegeman, 1987, p123) The camp aims to address some of these needs within a fun supportive environment.
