Da Vinci Decathlon State Finals

By Ms Jenni Bodell, Head of Academic Care

Congratulations to our Da Vinci Decathlon New South Wales State Finalists who placed third in the engineering discipline on Tuesday, 20 May.

Held at Knox Grammar School in Sydney, our Year 8 students did exceedingly well to secure a spot on the podium given they competed against some 70-plus schools.

The winning team of Rachel Yu, Sophie Linton, Dinugi Weerabaddana Dissanayake, Selina Li, Madeleine Luu, Siyara Malhinge, Linda Guo and Quentin Horrobin were invited to compete in the State Final after winning the competition in Canberra earlier in May.

The Da Vinci Decathlon is an academic competition celebrating creativity, critical thinking and collaboration and challenges students across ten disciplines: engineering, mathematics, code breaking, art and poetry, science, English, ideation, creative producers, cartography and legacy.

Well done, everyone.
