The Da Vinci Decathlon
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was one of the world’s greatest thinkers and scholars. Da Vinci demonstrated an ability to perceive the interconnected nature of knowledge and embraced learning with a lifelong passion and determination to uncover the unknown. The Da Vinci Decathlon is an academic competition that places an emphasis on higher order thinking skills, problem solving and creativity designed to challenge and stimulate the minds of school students.
Students work collaboratively in teams and are highly stimulated by competing in tasks that encompass Engineering, Mathematics, Ideation, Code Breaking, Drama, Art and Poetry, Science, English, Cartography and General Knowledge. There is a need, therefore, for a well-balanced team with students whose abilities complement rather than replicate each other. This competition is a prestigious event that is contested with a high level of academic rigor and excitement. It is also an excellent opportunity for our students to test their abilities amongst a range of public and private schools and to meet likeminded students from across this New England region.
Our teams certainly made us very proud and achieved wins in many of the categories, with Year 7 and Year 9 winning the regional competition and proceeding to the finals which will be held in Sydney later this year. Thank you to Mrs Dinusha Wijewickrama and Mr Jamie Suddaby for all of their organisation and support for this competition, without our teachers giving up their time to organise and attend these events, they wouldn’t happen. Lastly, congratulations to each and every one of our students on their efforts during this competion on Monday 15th May 2023 and Wednesday 17th May 2023.
