Once again CGS has had a successful year with the da Vinci decathlon. Earlier in the year the Year 7 and 8 teams competed in a gala day hosted by CGS. These teams comprised: Year 7 – James Deane, Christina Flynn, Keshav Karupiah, Deepan Kumar, Elliott Murphy, Christopher Siedl, Isaac Singhal and Jason Tran. This team received a 1st in Art and Poetry, 1st in English, 2nd in Games of Strategy, 2nd in Mathematics and a 1st in Code breaking. Overall the Year 7 team was ranked 2nd. The Year 8 team comprised: Mark Glanville, Vinay Goel, Alex James, Charles Jordan, Anand Siththaran, Patrick Soulsby, Charlie Templeman and Callum Webb. This team received a 1st in the Art and Poetry category, a 2nd in Games of Strategy, 1st in mathematics, 2nd in General Knowledge and was ranked 3rd overall in the competition.
schools. Out of a draw of 800 students our boys did considerably well. The Year 9 team comprised: Brendon Falk, Kevin Jacob, Steven Melhuish, Callum McGill, Max Wallner, Benjamin Mynott, Thomas McCredie and Henry Xu. They received a 1st in Code Breaking and a 2nd in Mathematics. The Year 10 team comprised: Alastair Barnett, William Choy, Jason Pover, James Mountain, Daniel Greiss, Daniel Zhong and John Freeman. This team achieved a 2nd in General Knowledge and a 3rd in English. All boys who competed did so with great sportsmanship and good humour. As always both competitions were highly enjoyable and proved to challenge and delight all the competitors. I look forward to another year of fierce competition in 2013. Ms Bronwyn Edwards
