In Australia, the needs for gifted and talented students are, on the whole, recognised, although this is not always translated into programs within the curriculum. As the tertiary requirements impinge upon the curriculum in the final years of schooling, often the types of provisions which are available in the primary and middle years of schooling are nonexistent in the senior years. This paper arose from action research in which the researchers sought to address the needs of gifted and talented students in the private schools (>1,000 students) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The focus of this paper is on the practical application of the design of colloquia. This design cuts across the usually separate domains of science and the humanities, and has arisen from empirical research addressing the needs of gifted adolescents. The relationship between the impact of adolescence on and the level of alienation among gifted students led to this particular design. The philosophical tenets of the design incorporate the specific requirements of interventions for gifted, underachieving students, as well as gifted, motivated students. This design also recognises the importance of role models and mentors in the senior years of high school: specifically, academics, researchers, and recognised achievers
