The History Mastermind competition takes place every year at Tara Anglican School for Stage 5 students. This year 16 students from our Year 9 & 10 Extreme History classes attended and participated in the competition. Students work in teams of four to answer trivia style questions based on the Stage 5 History Syllabus, Stage 4 History Syllabus as well as general History trivia. Below are comments from some of the students who attended:
When I attended the History Mastermind Competition yesterday, I personally enjoyed the overall experience. Being organised into teams created collaborative and interactive activities which influenced my engagement and kept me and my team involved. I really enjoyed the greater variety of questions, especially the short fun 10 questions in between rounds because they were unique and entertaining.

The History Mastermind competition was a really enjoyable experience. I liked collaborating with my peers and discovering new things about History I hadn't known before. It was also great to see all the schools congratulating each other and having fun during the rounds, which kept things light while still celebrating History.

I personally enjoyed working with my group and trying to figure out some of the more bizarre questions. I wish they had something language-related in the "fun" sections. but I enjoyed bonding with my fellow students during work and the break.

We would like to congratulate all the students who competed for their participation, teamwork and commitment to History.
