The national final of the Tournament of Minds will be held in Lower Hutt on September 20, which poses a dilemma for some team members who are also scheduled to compete in the Dancenzmade final on the same date.
The school won three trophies at the regional final of the Dancenzmade contemporary dance competition held in Wanganui last month.
"The Tournament of Minds regulations are very strict about team numbers and no personnel changes, so we are going to have to sort it out within the next two weeks," said Dr Desai.
The contest sponsored by the Ministry of Education includes language, literature, social sciences, applied technology and maths engineering.
