Tournament of Minds Year 4/5
Tournament of Minds is an inter-school problem-solving competition, which fosters creative thinking, cooperative learning and teamwork.The Dominic team known as the Dominic Brainy Bunch was made up of the following students from Years 4 and 5: Kyan Cubit, Abbie Doran, Zac Forey, Callum Kelly, Cameron Moase, Georgia McPherson and Laura O’Reilly.Students had five weeks to finalise its solution to a long-term challenge, which it presented last Saturday at Ogilvie High School. The team also completed a spontaneous challenge on the day.
The students chose the Arts Challenge and were tasked with retelling the story of The Wizard of Oz, setting it in a local environment, featuring native animals who were searching for the things they most desire.The team cleverly chose a fruit fly and wasp as villains and had characters such as a lyrebird searching for honesty and a thylacine searching for family and companionship.They did a brilliant job and did the College proud.
Well done to the TOM Team of 2019!
