Gifted and Talented Conferences 2022

Sandra Pooch —

We had forty of our talented Year 9 and 10 students attend the Gifted and Talented conferences at St Andrews College in 2022.

This was a day for bright ambitious students who are interested in ideas. The best way to stretch clever young people is to give them a solid platform from which key questions and big ideas can be explored. Students spent the day with like-minded peers all keen to reach the ceiling of their ability and share ideas. Experienced gifted and talented educator, Julie Arliss and lecturers from Oxford University, Aberdeen University and London University challenged our students with some advanced material. 

This was a unique, not to be missed, opportunity for the students to stretch their thinking.
