Gifted
Support Network
(formerly
BYAMS)
Gifted Support Network (formerly
Bayside Young Active Minds) is a not-for-profit organisation founded
in 1998 by local parents in the Bayside area of Melbourne, Australia.
Members are families and educators who have discovered that their
children
share many of the typical traits of
giftedness.
Gifted Support Network endeavours to provide
relevant information, resources and support to families and educators
with gifted children. We acknowledge the individual, social, emotional
and intellectual needs of gifted children and their families throughout
the various stages of development from infancy to the teen years
and beyond.
Gifted Support Network members have the
opportunity to enrich their parenting, teaching and learning journey
through information sessions, social opportunities and the sharing
of the personal stories of others.
We also work to improve community awareness
and understanding
of the special needs of the gifted.
New members are always warmly welcomed.
