Odyssey of the Mind Competition 2008

First of all,Odyssey of the mind.This year,Montfort sent out 4 teams.3 Division 2 Teams and 1 Division 3 Team.I Think we did rather well.For the division 2 teams,it consists of teams from the sec 1 and 2 levels.Mr christopher Foran's Team which took part in LTP(long term Problem)3 The Wonderful Muses was the best performing team.They took 4th placing in their problem in a field of 11 teams!Well done juniors!Mrs Jamie Tan's Division 2 team which took part in LTP 5,The eccentrics came in 6th placing out of a field of 12 schools.while Ms chong's team which took part in LTP 2,Dino stories came in 8th placing out of 9 schools. But whatever it is,it is a very good showing for newcomers to the competition.

My team is the senior team of the 4.we participated in division 3 which consists of sec 3,4 and jcs.we competed in LTP 4,tee structure.we were pipped from the 4th placing by RGS by a mere 9.57 points to 5th placing out of 10 schools.we were fielded into a very strong field.in fact, we expected ourselves to get either 9th or 10th placing.But we never let our guts down,responded positively,and took this competition not as a competition but as a platform for us to express ourselves and have fun in the process.i guess we really did have fun.here are the scores!

we were actually 4th after the long term and spontaneous round.but because RGS had a full 50 points for style,we lost our lead and were pipped to 5th.it is very dissapointing.But whatevr it is,we had fun.And we have shown to the other schools that we are a threat!!!We might have lost the battle but we have not lost the war!!!

I hope Montfort can send more teams in the near future.i am ready to volunteer to help the teams!!!I think i want to be one of the OM judges..soOOOOO Cool!!
