Gifted Awareness Week – 17 to 23 June


This emphasises the importance of empowering gifted individuals and their support networks while addressing the barriers and challenges they may face. It highlights the need for collaboration and support networks to bridge gaps in understanding and opportunities for gifted learners.

It also underscores the importance of breaking down barriers, whether they be social, economic, or systemic, to ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all gifted individuals. This theme encourages action and advocacy to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for gifted learners to thrive.

Join us in celebrating Gifted Awareness Week, a time to honour the unique talents and abilities of our gifted children!

Help us recognise and support our gifted youth. Together, we can break down barriers and create a nurturing environment where their talents can shine.

Throughout this year, we'll be hosting events, workshops, and discussions to raise awareness and promote understanding of giftedness. Join the conversation and help us build a brighter future for our gifted children!

Stay tuned for updates and get involved. Together, let's empower our gifted children to soar to new heights!

Canterbury Explorers is organising a gifted-themed scavenger hunt and a parent evening.
