Congratulations to our Year 5 and Year 6 OptiMinds teams who participated in the Regional Finals of OptiMinds on 31 August. OptiMinds is a creative problem solving programme that empowers students to think, create and communicate.
Both teams chose to work on the Language Literature problem which saw them coming up with a ten minute solution based on a group of great story tellers coming together to tell a story that would change people’s minds about an issue that was dear to their hearts. Each group came up with very creative and different solutions.

The students worked incredibly hard over the six week challenge period and are to be congratulated for their resilience and the learning that occurred through the process. The Year 5 team will be competing in the state finals on Saturday 21 September and are excited about the possibility of heading to the Nationals in Brisbane.

Congratulations to Tayte Kimber, Justin Tan, Samuel Read, Austin Thornhill, Charlene Lau, Amiya Williams, Alessio Astengo, Emma Botha, Evie Sanderson, Logan Jarvis, Richard Scott, Siobhan Atkinson and Toby Payne.
