Tourmanent of the Minds
The College offers students the chance to participate in the Tournament of Minds, one of the fastest growing national interschool programs to challenge the youth of Australia.
Tournament of Minds is a problem solving program for teams of students from both primary and secondary years. Secondary school teams must be a mix of students from at least two year levels with a minimum of two students from Year 7. They are required to solve demanding, open-ended problems from one of the following disciplines:
- Language Literature
- Maths Engineering
- Social Sciences
Teams are required to work on a Long Term Problem for six weeks, without assistance, to develop creative and original ways to present their solution on Tournament day. They also participate in an unseen Spontaneous Problem on Tournament day which requires rapid interchange of ideas and group co-operation.
It is an opportunity for students with a passion for learning and problem solving to demonstrate their skills and talents in an exciting, vibrant and public way. Tournament offers students a unique experience, providing challenge and growth through its six week problem solving structure.
