Honours Curriculum – Criminal Law

This term, our Year 8-10 Honours Curriculum students have taken a deep dive into Criminal Law. Students have engaged with an array of different academic readings, case-studies, guest lectures and have now just commenced their termly summative assessment investigating a criminal case involving artificial intelligence and gross medical malpractice.

It was a pleasure to observe Dr Andrew McIntosh talk on the complexities of being an expert witness in the Australian criminal legal system. With an immense background in human biomechanics, Dr Andrew McIntosh discussed the visceral and confronting realities of his profession as a scientist.

Over the next two and a half weeks weeks Honours students will be busily practicing criminal law – either as part of a prosecution or defence team.

With thanks,
