Is it still a cheetah?

Why do we even need gifted policy in schools? Aren’t gifted kids already ahead? These young people explain that without policy, gifted students can feel restrained, trapped, unable to grow, with “Boredom overwhelming and deep as the sea”. These students also share Stephanie Tolan’s analogy between giftedness and a cheetah. If the cheetah is not behaving and performing in ways we expect… is it still a cheetah? "If the cheetah is only 6 weeks old and cannot yet run, it is only a 'potential cheetah?" Please take a look.

Think of a students mind as a garden...

By Rhiannon Lowrey • May 27, 2025
Ever tried explaining “twice exceptional” (2e)? Think of a student’s mind as a garden. For a neurotypical brain, it’s like a beautifully organised, formal garden—paths are clear, easy to navigate, garden beds are separate yet harmonious, everything flows. In contrast, a 2e mind - one that is both gifted and disabled, it is like a wild garden: overgrown in places and seemingly unkempt, not always a clear path, but full of surprising treasures once you venture inside. Though it may not look perfectly pruned, it’s just as rich in growth and wonder—just a bit more challenging to navigate. Both gardens are equally beautiful in their own unique way!

What is asynchrony?

May 26, 2025
If you're involved in supporting gifted children, it's important to understand asynchrony - also known as asynchronous development. The video below is just an example of what asynchrony can look like. Some research indicates that asynchrony can be more common, or more pronounced, in highly to profoundly gifted children. However it can occur to differing degrees, and each child is different. Take a look at this video, and resources from the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) and the Davidson Institute .

Celebrating Gifted Awareness Week

May 23, 2025
We are excited to share a special podcast episode featuring Jacqueline Wilkinson, Director of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, in conversation with Maree Karaka, Leader of High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE). Together, Jacqui and Maree delve into how the Diocese’s HPGE Strategy is being brought to life across our schools — moving beyond policy documents to create dynamic learning environments where high potential is identified early, nurtured intentionally, and celebrated holistically. The episode shines a light on the Virtual Academy, a flagship initiative that extends and enriches the learning of gifted students through personalisation, challenge, and creativity.
