Two teams of Year 5 and 6 students achieved outstanding results at the da Vinci Decathlon last Wednesday, demonstrating strong academic ability, collaboration and perseverance.
Competing against schools from across the region, the students performed exceptionally well across a range of disciplines. The Year 6 team placed second overall, with first place finishes in ideation and science, alongside third place results in English and mathematics.
The Year 5 team also recorded excellent outcomes, earning second place in science, code breaking and ideation, and third place in cartography.
The da Vinci Decathlon is a challenging academic competition that focuses on problem‑solving, creativity and teamwork across ten disciplines, including engineering, mathematics, science, English, art and poetry, code breaking, cartography, creative production, ideation and legacy.
The students were well prepared and supported throughout the day by Mrs Hampson and Mrs Robinson, whose dedication and mentoring played an important role in the teams’ success.
Students showed outstanding teamwork and resilience during a long but rewarding day, departing school at 8am and returning at 5:30pm.
These results reflect the students’ commitment to learning and the strong academic and pastoral support within the Junior School.
Congratulations to all students involved on an outstanding achievement.
