I averaged the Victorian ICSEA scores of all schools that has the WiseOnes program in 2009. The average was 1095 with a range of 1005-1194. The two extremes of the range were both in the outer east of Melbourne. I wonder how much help we have been to these schools in assisting their fast learners to be happy, confident and able to achieve good results. Many would anyway, but confidence in being your own true self certainly helps and the extra, advanced general knowledge and advanced learning skills must make a difference. We do hear of children who are in WiseOnes getting scholarships but have no means of tracking them later. I am keen to make the program available in schools with lower scores, as school leaders tell me it makes a difference, but parents can’t afford it and schools can’t afford it. I am seeking a big corporate sponsor that we could work with as a partner. Our ethical nature would need to be satisfied as one of the criteria. Pat S
