Although registrations have closed for the beginning of the year, there are still ways that your school can participate. There are spaces available in our Gifted Learner Sustainability programme starting in Term 2. Get in quick with your expressions of interest before the end of term as places are limited. Thanks to Rosmini College for sharing opportunities to join in Filipino classes led by their own students. There is no cost to participate and lots of opportunities during the week to join in. Tutoring opportunities continue to be available for schools who have received this funding support from the MoE.
