Gifted in Gioia House

da Vinci

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 Da Vinci Decathlon team who competed against 78 other schools from NSW across the Catholic, Independent and Selective school sectors. The team undertook challenges across 10 disciplines: engineering, mathematics and chess, code breaking, art and poetry, science, English, ideation, creative producers, cartography and legacy. The Decathlon competition places a particular emphasis on higher order thinking skills, problem solving and creativity.

Pi Maths

Each week students from Gioia House take part in Pi Maths classes where they form smaller groups to focus on the working mathematically skills of communicating, reasoning, justifying and applying. 

The Australian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiad organisation regularly updates the Problem of the Week website with problems across all levels of skills.
