Decoding Da Vinci

Last week six teams from Years 5 – 10 headed to the University of Western Australia to compete against other schools in the Da Vinci Decathlon. In teams of eight across nine different disciplines: engineering, mathematics and chess, code breaking, art and poetry, science, English, ideation, creative producers, cartography and legacy, our students showed true ³ÉÈ˶ÌƬ’s spirit with positive attitudes, great collaboration and cooperation.

Our teams showed grit and teamwork throughout the day on papers that even stumped some of their teachers! Congratulations to our Year 5 team, who placed 2nd in Maths, 3rd in Science and 3rd in Engineering out of 21 schools, to our Year 6 team, who placed 3rd in Cartography out of 22 schools and to our Year 7 team, who placed 3rd in Ideation out of 28 schools.
