New Gifted and Talented Office Space

The Gifted and Talented Department have moved offices and are now located on the Blue Ocean. This new space allows for a welcomed drop-in environment for all K-12 students, teachers and staff. There are a vast array of resources available for students, which include books, games and drawing/writing materials. Students can also pop by for a chat or to meet with their peers or mentors. This also serves as a hub for students to find out what’s on in the Gifted and Talented Space.
