Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (10:15): I want to congratulate students from St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School in Warragul for their very successful trip to Tournament of Minds. Two teams took part in the state finals at La Trobe University in September and did exceptionally well. One team was able to progress to the international final in Sydney in November, which was a great achievement. Seven students from St Paul’s took on other teams from countries including New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Competing in the STEM challenge, students were put to the test with a longer 3-hour challenge followed by a far more challenging immediate response test. The team from Warragul secured an honours result, an exceptional and hard-fought result I know they are very proud of. Well done to all the students and their families who supported them.
