Pat Truscott knew Pat Slattery from their active membership of the Principals' Association. When Pat T decided to retire after much more than a decade as a school principal she thought that WiseOnes would give her a great interest and provide a way of serving needs that she recognized as important and unmet. Pat joined the WiseOnes team in 1999 and has hundreds of children enjoying the programs presented by her team of teachers.
Pat attended the World Conference for the Gifted in New Orleans in 2005 with Pat Slattery and the Australasian Conference in Fremantle in 2006 along with Claudine. In 2007 the two Pats attended the World Conference at Warwick University UK and the VAGTC Conference in Melbourne 2007 and two Twilight seminars.
Pat''s consistent, outstanding service to the schools to which she contracts shows in the happiness of the children and the way they always want to come back to WiseOnes. Principals enjoy her collegial experience and know how as she understands their position.
Pat cares for more than a dozen schools and has built a team of several teachers, parents of gifted children themselves, who understand the children but also know what schools need and how thyey work. Generally these teachers have a special talent themsleves such as music, art, leadership, sport, maths or play writing, drama, history. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of WiseOnes all of their talents are used for the benefit of the chidlren..
