The Mountain Cambridge School has once again excelled in the Tournament of the Mind (TOM), an esteemed international educational programme designed to develop problem-solving skills on a global stage. For the fifth consecutive year, MCS learners have claimed the National Winners title in both the Primary and High School Categories for The Arts, competing against some of the most prominent schools in South Africa.

“In addition to these remarkable victories, we are proud to announce that MCS has also been awarded the prestigious 2024 Spirit of Tournament Trophy for the Gauteng region, a testament to the enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by our team. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our Tournament of Mind learners for their outstanding achievement. This success is a reflection not only of their dedication and hard work but also of the tireless guidance provided by Talita Landsberg, whose support and expertise have been invaluable. We were also honoured to receive high praise from the South African Director of TOM, Traci Willis, who remarked, “Amazing! MCS scores were well above the Australian score range,” the school said.
