Cultural Diversity Week 14 - 21 March 2015http://www.vic.gov.au/news/cultural-diversity-week-2015.html

In Victoria more than 46 per cent of our population are either born overseas, or have at least one parent born overseas. Victorians come from over 200 countries, speak 260 different languages and dialects and follow 135 different faiths.During Cultural Diversity Week, community and cultural groups host hundreds of festivals and events across the state to celebrate Victoria's cultural, linguistic and religious diversity.The Week coincides each year with the United Nations' International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21 March. http://www.harmony.gov.au/

FACES

Sprite Doll No 1Sprite Doll No 2

I purposely did not give these dolls facial features so that they can represent their type of giftedness without also showing any racial or ethnic characteristics.Gifted and Talented students can be of any racial/ethnic/ cultural/ economic/religious group so it was more helpful for the dolls to be neutral in regard to these aspects of their character.

What does SPRITE THE TWICE EXCEPTIONAL need?

Sprite needs different educational provisions for both her giftedness and her disability simultaneously.
