Programme for Gifted Children to open in Tauranga
The New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education is a registered charity that supports and enriches gifted young people around New Zealand. They are exploring the possibility of opening a MindPlus programme in Tauranga in the near future. This is a one day school where children can work with a specialist teacher outside of the mainstream classroom.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the Tauranga community and they are holding an information session next week. The school will be located at a classroom in central Tauranga, however the information session for Parents will be held at Tahatai Coast on Tuesday July 2nd at 5.30pm.
If you know of a family of gifted children, please forward the attached flyer to them and hopefully we can bring this incredible programme to our amazing city.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
