Gold Coast

The Gold Coast branch of QAGTC has a range of activities for gifted children, their parents, teachers and interested community members.

  • We hold monthly children's activities (except for school holidays), usually on Saturday afternoons, for years 1 - 9.
  • We also hold our parent support group (PSG) on the same day as our children's workshops so parents/carers are able to attend whilst their children are engaged in our workshop activities.
  • We hold a variety of parent and teacher seminars throughout the year, usually with a guest speaker.

Gold Coast Branch Committee hold meetings once a month (during term time). 

Our Gold Coast Branch Committee:

  • President/Secretary: Michelle Ronksley-Pavia

  • Parent Support Group: Carol Barnes
  • Bookings Officer: Lilli-Anne Anderson
  • Committee member: Lesley Sutherland

Please note that we are a member-funded, volunteer-based organisation. We endeavour to answer queries and emails in a timely fashion, but please be aware we are all volunteers giving up our own time, volunteers who are dedicated to supporting gifted children, their families and their teachers, your patience would be appreciated.

Quote Of the Month for March

  • The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.  – Albert Einstein
