Future Problem Solving Qualifying Booklets

Congratulations to our Future Problem Solving students who last week completed their Qualifying Booklets for the competition. Five teams of students from Grade 6 to Grade 11 worked together under exam conditions to identify and solve problems in an unseen future scenario. This is a great accomplishment and marked the culmination of over a semester’s work. The students have been coached by students Charles and Sebastian Box and teachers Mrs Sydes, Miss Byerlee and Mrs Belchamber.

Scenario Writing Competition

Year 11 students Makani Campbell and Piper Reid competed in the Scenario Writing Division of the Future Problem Solving Program. They both prepared futuristic short stories related to one of five topics. Their stories were set 20 years in the future, depicting the logical outcome of actions or events taking place in the world today. Ms Roy and Miss Byerlee provided guidance and feedback on the writing.

All submissions will be evaluated and returned by early September.
