PRE-SALE PERIOD FOR MINDPLUS STUDENTS NOW ON - TICKETS OPEN FOR GENERAL SALE ON WED 9 NOVEMBER

Run by the NZ Centre for Gifted Education, MindPlus Clubs Day brings together Y3-10 gifted kids from all over Auckland (and beyond) who share passions and interests for a day of exploration, fun and getting to know like minds.

What clubs do you have available?

We have ten Clubs: Coders, Readers, Creative Writers, Scientists, Dreamers, Artists & Artisans, Designers, Historians, Changemakers and Mathematicians.

You can see a description of each club on our website here

What happens at Clubs Day?

At Clubs Day, club members come together in a ClubZone. Each club is led by two of our MindPlus Specialist Teachers and supported by university student helpers. During the day, each Club will have three separate sessions tailored just for them, including trips to see what people get up to in various faculties, time to design and create in the Unleash Maker Space, and some hands-on collaborative projects and challenges.

You can drop your children off at 8:30am at the main foyer on Level 1 of the Sir Owen G Glenn Building and pick them up from the same place at 3:30pm. Please make sure they have a packed lunch with plenty of snacks for a busy day, sunscreen and a hat.

Who is it for?

Clubs Day is for gifted kids in Y3 - 10. All current and past MindPlus students are eligible, as are children whose parent is a member of the NZ Association for Gifted Children.

We are also enrolling gifted students nominated by their schools. Your school can find out how to do this here [link to page on website].

If your child does not fit into one of these categories (eg your child is homeschooled or your school is not supportive), please get in touch with us to discuss at [email protected].

What does it cost?

Clubs Day costs $40 per child and includes a Clubs Day t-shirt.

Scholarships are available for families who cannot afford this. If you would like a scholarship, please email us at [email protected] and we will send you a discount code to use when ordering your ticket on EventBrite.

When should I register?

Register as soon as possible to ensure your child doesn’t miss out! Our Clubs each have a numbers limit. If there is not space available for your child’s first choice, we suggest you ask to go on the waitlist but also register your child for another Club. You can join the waitlist here. You can then switch clubs if your first choice becomes available.

How do I ask questions about Clubs Day?

We have FAQs on our website here. If you have any other questions, please contact us on [email protected] .
