Please support our final fundraiser for 2016. These funds directly support gifted children in New Zealand.

Our 3rd Annual Virtual Cake Sale is about giving gifted children opportunities to maximise their potential.

The New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education is an organisation spread right across New Zealand. We support young gifted kids and the adults who work with them through supporting teachers and communities to offer our programmes and also delivering programmes ourselves. Small Poppies, MindPlus and Gifted Online are three such programmes with hundreds of kids attending every school week. Like-minded kids join their minds, talents and passions and have a day a week growing their talents, challenging their abilities and feeling part of a community. Our virtual cake sale is about helping these kids. Find out more about us on www.nzcge.co.nz

We are inviting our community to purchase a virtual cake or two on line here at Give A Little. Be it a cupcake, a muffin or a multi-layered cake it all makes a difference to the opportunities these kids receive. And the best part???? No fuss, no ingredients, no dishes and no calories.

So please click away and donate to our end of year Appeal.

Thank you.

About us

Everyday gifted young New Zealanders' are missing opportunities to realise their full potential. We want to provide those opportunities with access to programmes that understand them, recognition of their talents, and support for the networks who surrounding them.

We want to see a future New Zealand doing extraordinary things.

The New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education provides a number of services to achieve this:

SMALL POPPIES - Big things often have small beginnings.

Small Poppies is a learning programme for gifted 2-6 year olds. A specialist teacher facilitates challenging, child-centred learning experiences, designed to stimulate inquiring and creative young minds. Children attend Small Poppies with a parent or caregiver, which provides an immediate shared learning opportunity and support network.

MIND PLUS - Where like-minds grow together

MindPlus allows 7-13 year old intellectually and creatively gifted children to engage and interact in rigorous and in-depth learning with liked-minded peers. Working with a specialist teacher children explore what it means to be gifted, expand their minds, pursue their passions and develop their talents.

GIFTED ONLINE - A space where I can connect

Gifted Online uses technology to connect gifted students with each other, with specialist teachers and with challenging and engaging learning opportunities. Gifted Online includes a variety of options including a one-day programme equivalent and specific talent development programmes. GO Day, GO Sessions and GO Talent (the one-day programme equivalent) include independent learning and online chats between students and their teacher. The talent development programmes include a combination of face-to-face and online learning.
