Bright and Beyond offers a range of services to help your
gifted children and students to soar:

Services for Families & Caregivers

Parents of gifted children and adolescents often need support to navigate parenting. Parents often require assistance to access appropriate education, and help to understand the unique and sometimes challenging behaviours and emotions of their gifted children and adolescents.

 

It takes a village to raise a gifted child. You don't have to do it on your own. We are here to help.

Services for Teachers & Schools

Bright and Beyond offers a range of services to teachers and schools grounded in research-based best-practice.

These include:

  • bespoke professional learning in all areas of Gifted Education for individual teachers through to whole staff;

  • program auditing and strategic planning;

  • Action Research coaching;

  • bespoke program design and delivery;

  • mentoring.

Services for Children & Adolescents

Gifted students require qualitatively different learning opportunities. Bright and Beyond offers tuition for highly, exceptionally and profoundly gifted students, to support and extend their interests and learning needs.

​

Bright and Beyond also offers 1:1 mentoring sessions for highly+ gifted students. These sessions may take the form of managing tricky behaviours such as big emotions, perfectionism, and procrastination.

Is Bright & Beyond right for me?

If you have a question, such as one of the following, Bright & Beyond can definitely help you!

  • Is my child gifted?

  • How can I engage with my child’s school?

  • Why is my gifted child’s behaviour so challenging?

  • How can I best provide for my gifted child?

  • Can a gifted child also have a disability?

  • How can I best support a gifted child in my class?

  • How can my school best provide for the range of gifted and high potential learners?

  • What’s the best way to differentiate for gifted learners?

  • How can we implement acceleration?

  • Can you audit our school program and help us deliver a more rigorous program?

  • Help! We don't know where to start. Can you help?

Why engage with Bright & Beyond?

At Bright and Beyond we know that gifted and high potential students require specialised support in order for them to fly and achieve their potential. Through our three tiered approach we are able to support the family, the student and the school to succeed.

 

Sadly, we know that many gifted children and adolescents do not achieve to their potential. Without knowledge of Gifted Education it is easy to misunderstand the needs of gifted people. Misunderstandings can lead to underachievement, behavioural problems, misdiagnoses, social problems, and emotional issues.

 

Our highly trained and experienced consultants provide you with the tools and strategies to help you to understand the unique needs of your children or students to help them fly.

​

We also understand that not all school leaders are trained in Gifted Education and need guidance to implement Gifted Education successfully. Bright and Beyond has supported many schools through auditing, bespoke program design, instructional and growth coaching, and whole-school professional learning. It's what we love to do!

Testimonials

"We feel so relieved to have found Helen to walk with us through our profoundly gifted daughter's education. Helen has been validating, reassuring and empowering for us, and warm, fun and kind with our daughter. With our school Helen has impressively balanced praise with room for improvement, and her years of experience show in her ability to work with teachers and suggest resources for all of us in a professional and motivating way. Importantly for us, unlike other consultants we have worked with, Helen's planning and recommendations have been specifically tailored to the needs of our child rather than gifted children generally. Also importantly, Helen has a whole future focus, with short, medium, and long term educational planning.
We were floundering, but now feel vastly more confident about the years ahead with our daughter knowing Helen is on our team, thank you Helen!"
