Gifted awareness week June 14, 2010
Presentation by Danielle.
Thursday 17 June, 7pm in Wanaka Primary School Rm 12A. Thanks Danielle for taking time to do the talk and Kharis for arranging the drinks (tea, coffee etc on the night. If any of you think that someone might be interested, give them a ring / reminder and encourage them to come.
Radio Talk
Callum and Danielle will do a radio interview on Tuesday at 10.10 a.m on Radion Wanaka. Tune in and better still, record a copy for those that might miss it.
Hopefully an article in the Wanaka Sun by Hamish, and Kathi from REAP is organizing something News on behalf of all REAP STARS.
Enrich @ILT
Lastly, I would like to share an article in the South Times June 12th issue. It was a 2 full page spread entitles ‘A haven for gifted kids’. There is a learning facility in Invercargill – Enrich @ILT for gifted kids. It was the brainchild of Salford School Principal Marlene Campbell and funding of more than $1 million in the past 2 years from Invercargill Licensing Trust and ILT foundation. 90 kids in the programme age 8 – 11 (not too sure). 3 teachers and they work out of an old Invercargill nightclub, ‘The Sugar Shack’ now revamped into a high tech facility. The principal is Pania MccVeay-Stewart. The colour photos show laptos, robotic lego and the good old chess game! We might have to make contact and go and check out the premises and have a ‘Meeting of Minds’ there. Might be a good excuse for a camp in Invercargill!
I think I have more or less covered all that we have planned for the week and term. Thank you all again for all your efforts and it’s rather mind boggling that such a small group has been able to organize so much.
Cheers Mei Lian
