Potato Patahtoes are off to Sydney
Help Potatoes Patahtoes get to Australia
Royal Oak, Auckland
Potato Patahtoes are a Tournament of Minds (TOM) team from Royal Oak Intermediate specialising in the discipline of Language and Literature. The members of Potato Patahtoes are Josiah, Hazel, Alex, Leo, Mark, Shevonne and Elroy. This amazing group of students won the Auckland regional competition, and then the New Zealand finals. Go Team! We are SO proud of you!
They now have an amazing opportunity to compete in the international finals in Sydney (Oct 29th-30th). They will be competing with teams from around the world. What an incredible opportunity for these young learners! We hope you can help us to get them there!
Funds raised here will contribute to paying for each student’s entry fee, as well as the considerable travel and accomodation costs involved in taking 7 students to Sydney
What is TOM? TOM is a program for all primary and secondary students providing the opportunity to solve authentic, open-ended challenges that foster creative, divergent thinking whilst developing collaborative enterprise, excellence and teamwork in a challenging and competitive environment.
