Opti Minds

Here is our oldest son Michael. Yesterday he and four friends competed in the Opti Minds Tournament. Opti Minds involves a team solving a problem and making a presentation on that problem. The team chose "Language and Literature" as their theme and were given a clue and had to write a series of clues to find the answer to the problem. Over the past six weeks they have worked on this presentation, writing scripts, making props, learning lines and rehearsing and finally the day came yesterday. The teams also have a 'spontaneous' presentation where they go into a room and are given a different problem and have to attempt to find a resolution in front of the judges. The aim is to promote teamwork, respect for each other and the way they value each other's ideas etc. Anyway, the team performed very well and will now be going on to Brisbane.

As you can see from these photos, Michael is passionate about acting and performing. He had a great time yesterday and his enjoyment is obvious. He is Mowgli here.
