Christ Church has achieved outstanding success at the da Vinci Decathlon, with five of the School’s six teams finishing in the top two overall and both the Year 7 and Year 10 teams crowned State Champions.

Held at the University of Western Australia, the prestigious academic competition brings together some of the state’s highest-performing students to compete across ten disciplines: Engineering, Mathematics, Code Breaking, Art and Poetry, Science, English, Ideation, Creative Producers, Cartography and Legacy. Designed to challenge students beyond the standard curriculum, the event tests creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and problem-solving under pressure.

1st Mathematics, English and Code Breaking | 2nd Science | 3rd Art and Poetry

Year 9 – 2nd Overall
1st Legacy and Code Breaking | 2nd Mathematics | 3rd Ideation and Science
