SATURDAY CLUB TERM 3

Welcome to the Term 3 program.   We are extending our "Bring a Friend" offer for the rest of 2010 so if your child has a friend who would like to attend sessions, please make a booking and pay the same fee per child.

Thanks again to the great support of our existing and new members. Saturday Club is not trying to be an extension of school, rather an opportunity to gain a greater insight and expansion of knowledge, together with making friendships and having fun! We hope you continue to support our program and find it difficult choosing which session to attend!

Please carefully read the general information on Saturday Club before making a booking.

To access the program, log into menu on left "Student Programs / Saturday Club", then choose session details.

GTCASA Youth Workshops

GTCASA will again be holding Youth Workshops in 2010. The venue will be Flinders University, and many of the workshops will be presented by lecturers from the University.

Full information should be in schools at the beginning of Term 3 requesting them to
register interest.

Numbers for workshop sessions will  be  limited as they will be
filled up on a first in, first served basis. Therefore to avoid disappointment
we strongly urge  parents to communicate with the school to speed up the process

PLEASE NOTE that these workshops will be held in the September/October school holidays and not in the April holidays as in previous years.

Where information about the Youth Workshops is not provided by the school, gifted students are encouraged to self nominate by contacting the Association early in term 3 2010.
