St Catherine’s Catholic College has come home with two first places at the annual Opti-Minds District Competition in Mackay last weekend.
The College had three teams enter and brought home the Division 3 Social Science Trophy and the Division 2 Language Literature Trophy, with students qualifying for the state titles.
West State School in Mackay hosted the event, with students from Year 6-12 representing many of the local schools.
Opti-Minds is made up of many different categories where participants have to use their imagination to solve creative problems.
Year 9 St Catherine College student Sonny Telford said Opti-Minds was a great team experience.
“Your team is given a theoretical problem and you have to come up with a solution to it,” he said.
“My favourite part was when we had to write the script for the solution, we ended up with a funny and out there fix it to the dilemma.”
