Success at National Finals for Future Problem Solving Teams

Congratulations to both our Future Problem Solving teams who performed very well at the National Finals over the weekend.  Our Middle College Global Issues Booklet team of Oliver Friend, Isla Lendrum, Amy Richards, and Emily Studiman were placed 2^nd out of 28 teams from across the country and received an invitation to represent Australia internationally.  This is an outstanding achievement.  The team produced strong responses to futuristic scenarios that involved re-mining in Australia, producing and presenting action plans to reduce environmental impact and enhance social sustainability in mining zones in the future.

We also congratulate our inaugural Community Problem Solving team of Declan Bancks, Jax Bautista, Aiden Kemp and Nathan Russell who also performed very well at the National finals. Adopting the name Blue Light Boys, the team focused on educating young people on ways to reduce the impact of blue light on students as they use technology.  We look forward to the Blue Light Boys raising awareness through their brochures, videos and website.

We thank and congratulate Mrs Jo Belchamber, Mrs Linda Sydes, Miss Adele Byerlee and students Charles and Sebastian Box for their leadership of our Future Problem Solving teams
