  Gifted WA would like to invite you, and your children, to our first South West catch up. Aimed at teachers and parents alike, it is a great opportunity to informally meet with others on similar journeys and pose questions to the committee members present. We will meet outside the Sandbox cafe at 10:00am before making our way to the playground.

  We understand the significance of connecting gifted children with like-minds, and have created an opportunity for you to bring your kids down to the playground at the Busselton Foreshore Park. There, they can play, imagine and socialise with other gifted children, fostering new friendships and creating positive memories. 
  

  We look forward to meeting you and your family at the event.

  For the sixth year running Gifted WA and MENSA have joined to host a combined event, bringing together members from both organisations, for a social gathering to conclude Gifted Awareness Week 2025 (24 May - 1 June).

  Gifted Awareness Week is celebrated in May, every year, to raise awareness of the identification, support and learning needs of gifted children and to celebrate the dedication of individuals and education bodies who are making a positive difference in the lives of gifted children and their families.

  You're invited to a BYO picnic from 11:30am. We will have Lego, Duplo, stepping stones and magnet tiles set up on large mats, as well as free face painting from 11:30-1:30pm!

  At 1:30pm we will have a host an open panel discussion for parents. This year the panel list will be released in the weeks prior to the event. We look forward to sharing information about each panel member through social media.

    

  This was a huge success last year and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the conclusion of Gifted Awareness Week.
