The
George Parkyn Centre is becoming The Gifted Education
Centre!!! After 12 years, we will re-open in January
2008 under a new name, reflecting the growth of the
Centre and clearly defining the work that we do.
The
name and work of George Parkyn (1910–1993) will
remain synonymous in the minds of many with the progress
of gifted education both within New Zealand and internationally.
The
Centre, and the thousands of children and families
that the Centre’s work has touched over the last
decade or more, greatly respects and recognizes the
work of George Parkyn, and that of Rosemary Cathcart,
the Centre’s founder.
We
look forward now to working to build on, and expand
on that progress – by broadening the services
offered (eg the introduction of services for pre-school
children), and building public awareness of the needs
of these children.
Over
the coming months, you may see subtle changes in our
website and/or our printed materials as we transition
towards this exciting new move. It is our aim that
by 14 January 2008, the date we re-open after the
end of year break, the work will be finished, and
we have completed our metamorphisis!
We
look forward to supporting you with your gifted children,
and pupils, for many years to come.
