The da Vinci Decathlon
The da Vinci Decathlon
A different type of decathlon
Picture a fierce intellectual battleground, where highlighters replace javelins and calculators step in for shot puts. Welcome to the da Vinci Decathlon! In this intellectual clash, student teams go head-to-head across ten disciplines: engineering, Mathematics, code breaking, art and poetry, Science, English, ideation, creative producers, cartography and legacy.
The da Vinci Decathlon is not just a competition; it’s a platform that celebrates the academic gifts of Australian students. It’s a challenge and catalyst for students to apply and hone their higher-order thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and creativity.
This year St Aloysius entered two teams, one in the 5/6 division and one in the Year 9 division. Both teams performed admirably, demonstrating persistence and inquisitiveness as they attempted to interpret and solve the problems presented to them.
