Tournament of Minds (TOM) UPDATE

Seven teams will proudly be representing our College in the Tournament of Minds 2023 Competition at at La Trobe University, Bundoora campus on Saturday, 19th August.

The challenge includes a Long-Term Challenge, where students creatively communicate their solutions within predefined parameters like limited materials and complex criteria. Additionally, they will participate in an unseen Spontaneous Challenge, requiring a rapid interchange of ideas and strong group cooperation skills.

Parents are welcome to be part of the audience for Long Term Challenge. Unfortunately, there is no audience for the Spontaneous Challenge except for the judges as it is a Secret Challenge. Parents are welcome to attend and support our teams. We would like to thank all parents, TOM facilitators and staff for their support and relentless efforts to motivate their teams.
