Gifted Awareness Week was founded in 2015 by the Australian Association for the Education of the Gifted and Talented (AAEGT) to raise awareness of the identification, support and learning needs of gifted children and to celebrate the dedication of individuals and educational bodies who are making a positive difference in the lives of gifted children and their families. https://www.aaegt.net.au/gifted-awareness-week

Throughout Gifted Awareness Week 2026, TAG will be hosting online information sessions and conducting a poster competition for students. Check our GAW breaking news below!

What a great opportunity for individual students, an extension group or a whole class activity.

And our winning poster, which reflects the theme with originality, was created by Rafael who attends Sacred Heart Primary School in Geeveston.  Congratulations Rafael.
