Tournament of Minds

Tournament of Minds is a problem-solving program for teams of students from both primary and secondary years. Tournament’s aim is to enhance the potential of our youth by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment.

They are required to solve demanding, open-ended challenges from one of the following disciplines:

• The Arts
  A new discipline for those who have a love for the visual and performing arts!
  The long term challenges will involve research before developing a creative interpretation in response to the Challenge. Plenty of opportunities for artistic expression in the form of dance, song, musical instruments, theatre and all forms of the Visual Arts.
• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
  A new discipline starting in 2018.
  The combination of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics principles provides an integrated approach for students to deepen their conceptual understanding and use their creative and critical thinking skills to solve the challenges within an authentic context.
• Language Literature
  Language Literature Challenges will involve in-depth analysis and research of texts from a variety of fields.
• Social Sciences
  A journey through the moral and ethical issues confronting society in the 21st Century.

Tournament of Minds 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. Try outs for students in Y5 and 6 will be held after school on Tuesday May 21 3.20pm – 4.20pm in CH6 with Mrs Byrne.

To try out you need to be able to commit to after school rehearsals every Tuesday in T2 and T3 (3.20 – 4.20 pm) and be able to attend the regional presentation at ECU Joondalup on Saturday 31 August 2024; where you will be performing your ten-minute drama/solution. No preparation is required for the try outs, you just need to be comfortable on the stage and be a team player. I look forward to seeing you next week.
