Auckland Branch of NZAGC: Explorers
Author : Edusearch
Auckland Branch of NZAGC: ï¿½Explorersï¿½ The Auckland Branch: - has members from all over greater Auckland - provides a comfortable environment for gifted children where they will be able to make friends with others of their own age and ability - provides opportunities for parents of gifted children to meet to share experiences - seeks to foster good relationships between home and school in the interests of the gifted child - educates the public about gifted children by disseminating information and initiating new research. Activities include: - Clubdays 4-5 times per term on Saturday afternoons. - Holiday trips - Sleepovers e.g. at Kelly Tarltonï¿½s, or for Halloween. - Two weekend camps a year - Information evenings for parents to meet specialists in e.g. education or psychology. Clubdays range from computers and carnivorous plants to map-making and music and are organised by the committee and parents. Tutors and guest speakers often run these sessions. The cost is usually $5 per family, sometimes more if speakers have a high charge. Ideas for clubdays come from members, sometimes catering for a childï¿½s particular interest. Clubdays, trips and camps are family occasions, and parents are expected to remain with their children. A library of games, puzzles, videos, CD ROMS, audiotapes and books is available on clubdays. NZAGC has an extensive library for parents and educators. Contacts: Explorers Auckland Branch NZAGC Inc.
