When compared to age peers, gifted kids tend to:

    • learn rapidly
    • have extensive vocabulary
    • concentrate for extended periods
    • have an excellent memory
    • be persistent in their interests
    • be keen observers
    • be highly creative
    • have a vivid imagination
    • be good at jigsaw puzzles
    • read early
    • prefer the company of older children and adults
    • be intense and sensitive
    • aim for perfection

Gifted children are found in:

  • all ethnic groups
  • all socio-economic levels
  • both genders
  • all types of families

Some gifted children are ‘twice exceptional’ - they are gifted but also experience a learning difficulty or a disability.

Speak with the team at the Gifted Education Centre and see if GO could be good for any child in your school.
