The Annual General Meeting of the QAGTC will be held via ZOOM meeting.

Not all children learn the same way, and sometimes, conventional schools just don’t fit the bill—especially for our gifted kids. If you’re curious about alternative education options, join us for a relaxed and informative evening where we’ll explore different education styles. This is a great opportunity for parents, guardians, and anyone interested in alternative approaches to education, shared from the perspective of a mum with gifted children.

Join us for a debrief of the 2024 QAGTC state conference. Melissa (branch secretary) and Sue (branch treasurer) will provide a run down of key concepts and insights regarding critical thinking for gifted students. This will be followed by an article review regarding the topic of growth mindset.

Growth mindset theory has become popular in the education vernacular. The article below considers the evidence for this theory and presents some alternative ways to view the idea of 'growth'. The author, Dr Scott Barry Kaufman, is a prominent psychologist in the field of human intelligence, creativity and human potential. The questions posed at the end of this article are useful in helping students to consider and develop their own personal growth mindset. Please acccess the article via the link below in preparation for our evening of discussion. We welcome questions and comments from you regarding the content.
