Tournament of Minds

Tournament of Minds (TOM) is an Australasian problem solving competition that challenges Years 7-10 students to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration and time management. TOM involves teams from both primary and secondary years.

Students are required to solve demanding, open ended challenges from one of the following disciplines:

  • Science Technology
  • Language Literature
  • Engineering Mathematics
  • Social Sciences

Catholic, Independent and State schools compete at Regional, State and the Australasian Finals. St John’s College has a proud tradition of involvement in TOM, and positions in a team are prized (in the past we have had many more students wishing to participate than there are positions available).

The College runs a workshop selection session where students are invited to showcase their ability. From this, students are then nominated for teams in the discipline of their choice.

The aim of Tournament of Minds is to enhance the potential of our students by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment.
