EVERY DAY. IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE GIRLS HAVE EMBRACED EVERY TASK AND CHALLENGE THAT HAS COME THEIR WAY IN THE FIRST SEMESTER OF ST MARY’S CENTENARY YEAR.
O
ne such test that they not only welcomed but excelled in was the Junior da Vinci Decathlon, held at the University of Western Australia's Winthrop Hall on 31 March. The da Vinci Decathlon is designed to celebrate the academic gifts of young Australians by providing a stimulating and challenging competition run in the spirit of an Olympic Decathlon. Twenty-nine schools competed in the event, with students competing across ten disciplines: Engineering, Cartography, Mathematics, Code Breaking, Art and Poetry, Science, English, Ideation, Creative Producers and Legacy. St Mary’s Year 6 team reigned supreme, claiming the title of 2021 Western Australian State Champions. The girls were awarded first place for English, second for Ideation, Legacy, Code Breaking and Engineering, and third place for Maths and Art and Poetry. The School’s Year 5 group also acquitted themselves with distinction, placing third for Mathematics, Cartography and Code Breaking.
