Future Problem Solving National Competition

Four senior students have achieved their goal of making it into the National Senior Secondary School Future Problem Solving Finals. The team members are: Scott Cameron, Hamish Annan, David Ju and Iain Miller. They are competing in the Global Issues Problem Solving section of the competition which is for teams of four students. They seek to put together a plan to solve a global issue set 20 to 50 years in the future. Last year, the same group of four boys made it into the semifinals but made a critical mistake that cost them a place in the national finals. This time, they made sure the same mistake was not made again. The finals are being held in Auckland from 2 – 4 November. The boys are competing against teams from Kristin School, Nelson College and Matamata College. They are keen to win the national title and compete in the international finals at Indiana University next year.
