The Da Vinci Decathlon is a highly regarded academic competition that challenges students to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively across a wide range of disciplines. Teams work together to solve complex problems in areas such as Mathematics, Science, English, Engineering, Code Breaking, Art and Poetry, and more. The competition provides students with an opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom and apply their knowledge in new and demanding contexts.
This year, our students across both Junior and Senior School took part in the event, demonstrating outstanding teamwork, perseverance, and intellectual curiosity.
