Welcome to Students
 

Are you a student in Years 3 – 10 at an Australian primary, middle or secondary school? Are you bright, intellectually inquisitive and looking for something more challenging, more intellectually demanding, and more fun than you may sometimes be experiencing in school? Would you like to become a part of a school vacation program that will really stretch your mind?

GERRIC offers a range of programs for gifted and talented students. (No, that doesn’t mean you have to be a genius. Gifted and talented students are generally students who are capable of performing in the top 10-15% of their age-peers.) Some schools provide brilliant programs for academically gifted students; others don’t. Whichever category you feel your school belongs in, GERRIC holiday programs will open your mind to abilities you may have not suspected you possess, and opportunities to use these abilities to the fullest.

Access our pages on student programs and think about joining us. You’ll meet other people who share your interests and you’ll also meet inspiring teachers who love working with gifted students.

It’s a whole new world.

“GERRIC student programs are an opportunity for you to get out of the comfort zone that you experience in your everyday school and home routine. If you can find opportunities to do that, it’s going to allow you to make contributions beyond what you can think”
