Tournament of Minds

Congratulations to the 3 teams who presented at Flinders University on Sunday 9th of September. It was a major effort to work for 5 weeks on their solution to a problem and present this to a panel of judges, in front of an audience. Groups often met at 8 am in the mornings and at recess and lunch times to work on their presentations.

All teams should feel very proud of their efforts, just being able to present a solution in that time frame makes them a winner in my eyes. I wish to thank all parents and caregivers for their support on the day and during the 5 weeks of preparation. I would also like to thank teachers for releasing students to plan and work on their presentations, especially Chris Philbrook for his invaluable support and planning with one team in particular.
