High Ability Program Update

We are delighted to share some exciting updates on the progress of our new High Ability Program, which continues to offer enriching opportunities that extend and challenge our high-achieving students.

Celebrating student achievements

Last month, a group of our students took part in the Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) Competition, a prestigious event that fosters logical and problem-solving skills in mathematics and computer science. We are proud to congratulate the following students who earned a Credit Award:

Georgia Bregman – Year 7

Antonio Knezevic – Year 7

Chloe Oliver – Year 7

Josep Mang Tawn – Year 8

Well done on this outstanding achievement!

Future problem solving - tackling global issues

Earlier this month, our students participated in Future Scene 2 of the Global Issues Problem Solving (GIPS) challenge, focusing on rising sea levels. This year-long academic enrichment program guides students through a structured six-step problem-solving process outlined below.

1. Identify Challenges and Problems
2. Select an Underlying Problem
3. Produce Solution Ideas
4. Select Criteria to Evaluate Solutions
5. Apply Criteria to Select the Best Solution
6. Develop an Action Plan to Implement the Best Solution

As you can see in the photo below, our students were engaged in addressing this complex global issue, collaborating thoughtfully to produce innovative and actionable solutions.

Da Vinci Decathlon Preparation Underway

Every Thursday afternoon, students are meeting to prepare for the Da Vinci Decathlon 2026. 

This multi-disciplinary academic competition requires students to think critically and creatively across ten disciplines, including engineering, science, mathematics, poetry, art, and code breaking. 

The dedication and teamwork shown during these sessions are laying a strong foundation for next year’s competition. Below is team hard at work!

Upcoming event - Design Thinking & LEGO Workshop

We are thrilled to announce our next enrichment event - the Design Thinking & LEGO Workshop, to be held at the College next Tuesday 24 June.

This fast-paced, interactive workshop will introduce students to the principles of design thinking, empathy, ideation, and prototyping using LEGO Serious Play. Through hands-on problem solving, students will enhance their creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.

We sincerely thank our administration team, teachers, parents and guardians and the wider school community for their continued support and encouragement. 

We look forward to many more achievements and milestones ahead.
