G.A.T.E.WAYS Brainwaves Club - New Host Venue.


Saturday afternoon Brainwaves Club is a parent enrolled program that you can nominate your child for. Bondi Public School is a new host venue, with other clubs held at venues in Ryde and North Curl Curl.

The G.A.T.E.WAYS Brainwaves Club program is based on the philosophy that highly able and gifted children have particular needs for stimulation and challenge that match their high level of curiosity and desire to learn. In addition, children with specialised skills and talents in advance of their age peers need both affirmation of these abilities and opportunities for talent development. For more information on each of the programs click here.

An interesting read - Let's get real about gifted kids

"Children are not all the same and it does them a disservice to claim otherwise. Just like not all children have special needs, not all children are asynchronous and advanced.
Gifted doesn't mean special. It doesn't mean better than everyone else. Gifted is wiring. Gifted is a brain that doesn't think like the standard brain - that doesn't learn the same way, see things the same way, or act the same way. Gifted is different."
