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 2025, TAG will be hosting online information sessions, publishing daily articles on our website, and will hold a casual barbeque on 1 June in Kingston, southern Tasmania. Check our GAW breaking news below!
