“The Best Things about GT Online” ~ from our 2023 Year 10 Students

Being able to be challenged and meet other like-minded people.

Meeting new people I otherwise wouldn’t meet, and feeling like the things I learn are actually valuable

Being able to get a high quality education in a rural area without the need to change schools or to move to a large city.

The people – the students were really welcoming on my first camp, and have been friendly since (and they’re smart, which challenges me), and the teachers are really nice and know their stuff, so I’ve learnt a lot from them.

Being able to independently study and meeting people from around the state.

I think the best part of the program is the community, even in the relatively short time since I joined the program I’ve had many great experiences with fellow students, both ones I already knew and new people I met on camp.

The kind, encouraging, and caring students and teachers.

The close connection you develop with classmates and teachers due to the small classroom size. It makes school life just that little bit easier to have friends you can fall back on or just talk to.

Making friends is definitely one of the best parts of GT. As someone who finds meeting new people extremely stressful, meeting other GATE students who are similar to me, who I wouldn’t have met without GATE has been an amazing experience.
