Gifted and Talented Children : Parent Seminars

Victorian Association for Gifted and Talented Children – Parent Seminars 

What are the Parent Seminars about? The VAGTC in partnership with the Department of Education and Training (DET) is facilitating FREE parent seminars which aim to educate and support parents and guardians of high ability children. Based on themes that arose as ‘high interest/high needs’ in the 2020 seminars, these seminars are designed to foster positive and collaborative home/school partnerships, and to connect parents with each other to provide networking and support. 

If you have a student in the VHAP (High ability program) or simply wish to know more, consider signing up to one of the upcoming online/in person seminars.
