Suzanne Plume – Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator 7-12

Da Vinci results

On Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 May we set out for Knox Grammar School with great enthusiasm and high hopes for two days filled with challenging activities, team work and collaborative problem solving. On the Tuesday 70 schools competed, while on the Wednesday this number increased to 75.

Our teams enjoyed the days immensely and acquitted themselves well. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the day was the opportunity afforded our students to test their problem-solving abilities and 21^st Century learning skills against “the best of the best.”
