This year Chester Hill Public School had two teams entered in the annual Tournament of Minds competition. The students spent six weeks preparing for the challenge and weren't allowed to have any assistance from teachers. The language and literature group chose to create a movie trailer and the applied technology team created a short stop motion movie. These were presented to judges and an audience at the University of Western Sydney, where students also had to present a ten minute live presentation. The language and literature team was awarded Tournament Honours for their efforts in creating a trailer for the movie ‘Matilda'. They were commended for their skills, team work and entertaining presentation.
