Sunshine Coast Grammar School is proud to host the upcoming Regional da Vinci Decathlon Championships for the second consecutive year and is set to welcome over 650 students from across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane regions.
The prestigious academic competition, set to take place over two days, promises to ignite the bright young minds of students from Years 5 to 11 who will showcase their talent and skills in a wide array of disciplines including engineering, art and poetry, code-breaking, cartography, science and English.
Ms Gahan, Head of Extended Learning at Sunshine Coast Grammar School, expresses her excitement, stating, “This event not only showcases the academic talents of our students but also highlights the collaborative spirit and innovative thinking that define our region.”
“Hosting the Regional da Vinci Decathlon is a testament to our commitment to championing regional education and fostering a culture of excellence in learning,” said Ms Gahan.
With an emphasis on high-order thinking and innovation, the da Vinci Decathlon serves as a launchpad for future leaders, thinkers and innovators. Beyond the competition, the event offers a unique opportunity for teachers to network and exchange ideas, further enriching the educational landscape of our region.
Sunshine Coast Grammar School placed strongly in the Secondary School divisions last year, being crowned first overall in Year 8 and 9, second in Year 10 and third in Year 7, with the teams progressing to the State Finals.
What began as a local competition in Sydney, has flourished and grown to be a national and global phenomenon, involving thousands of students from Years 5 to 11 across Australia.
“We are looking forward to welcoming all teams across the region and share in the passion they will bring to each day of the competition,” said Ms Gahan.
