Dear Parents and Carers,
Congratulations Tournament of Minds Team!
It was a privilege to watch our amazing Tournament of Minds team participate in the State ToM finals at the University of NSW on Sunday. The team showed amazing cooperation, resilience, determination and critical thinking and I’m sure performing at the State finals is something they will always remember.
Congratulations Beau, Arabella, Jaya, Harry, Levi, Scarlette and Will on an outstanding achievement.
