Gifted Students

 

 

 

Expand your mind in a fun & challenging setting

Our GERRIC for Gifted Students program is offered to gifted and talented students (generally students who are capable of performing in the top 10% of their age-peers) in years 3-10 at Australian primary, middle or secondary school. This is a school holiday program that expands the minds of bright, inquisitive individuals looking for an intellectual challenge that is more demanding and more fun than they may sometimes experience at school.  

GERRIC Student Programs open a student’s mind to abilities they may not have known they possess. At UNSW, gifted students meet others who share their interests and they are taught by educators who love working in this field. Our program runs for three days and gives students the opportunity to work on a small project.  

Friday 8 January, 2021

We are pleased to provide an update on the GERRIC Student Programs at UNSW.  UNSW has renewed approval of our COVID Safety Plan and the programs will still take place on the 19th-21st January.

Getting tested for COVID-19 

NSW Health recommends that anyone with COVID-like symptoms should get tested, even if your symptoms are very mild. For the latest information on COVID-19 symptoms and testing visit the NSW Health website.

COVID-19 testing is fast and free and you do not need a medicare card. If you have been tested you must remain at home in self-isolation while awaiting the results. Even if you test negative, you must not come to campus until all your symptoms have resolved.

From our FAQs:

  • In January 2021 we will be relaxing our usual refund policy to accommodate for the uncertainty caused by COVID in Australia.  If at any time before or during the program you need to withdraw your child because of their health or the health of a family member, or if at any time you are instructed to self-isolate so testing can be conducted, you will receive a full refund. 

From Eventbrite Registration Form

  • I understand that GERRIC will follow UNSW, NSW Health, and any other state or federal government advice, and if the Student Programs are cancelled due to Covid-19, tickets will be fully refunded.
