TOURNAMENT OF THE MINDS

On Sunday 28 August, 10 students from Years 7 and 8 represented St Josephs’ in this year’s Tournament of the Minds. The boys spent many hours preparing for the Science and Technology Challenge. The challenge required them to recreate a machine and use non-verbal communication skills to respond to a message after the world has gone through an unpredictable major catastrophe. The boys worked collaboratively to design a specific code that could be sent and read using series and parallel circuits. Using their own sound effects and clever scripting the boys created and presented an entertaining and polished performance which was well received by the judges. They were also required to complete spontaneous challenges on the day which tested their combined quick thinking skills. Whilst this year’s team composition didn’t allow them to be eligible for prizes, the boys gained invaluable experience and are very keen to continue with TOM in the future. Thank you to Mrs Janine Quick who kindly volunteered her time and assisted the boys weekly leading up to the event. We are all looking forward to TOM in 2017! - Nerrida Holland
