EXTRACURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

TOURNAMENT OF THE MINDS

In Term three, a group of students from Years 7-9 participated in the NSW Regional Final of the Tournament of the Minds.

The group had six weeks to create and design a solution to a Social Science challenge. The challenge required the students to creatively describe a continent moving event and its impact on the world. They also had to create their props and write a ten-minute script.

While they win a place on the day, the judges commended the team in several areas.

The group received full marks for their explanation, their 3D model that represented the changes to Earth, their teamwork and their ingenuity. They also received full marks for their teamwork and thinking processes in the spontaneous challenge. 

DA VINCI 

In Term One, William Carey participated in the Illawarra da Vinci Decathlon. 

Our teams had some great results competing against several experienced teams from the Sydney/Illawarra region.

Our Year 7/8 team achieved 1st in Art and Poetry. 

Our Year 9/10 team achieved 3rd in Science, 2nd in Ideation and 2nd in Creative Producers.  

These results are particularly impressive as we had four Year 7’s competing against students from higher grades.
