Ethics Club and the Middle School Ethics Olympiad

This semester, Domremy’s Ethics Club has focussed its lunchtime conversations around the set cases for the 2025 Middle School Ethics Olympiad. This year’s cases have led to really thoughtful discussions from a variety of perspectives. Our girls have particularly enjoyed discussing the ethical implications of naming your child, bullfighting, the immoral actions of artists, civilian intelligence in war, bullying and the use of AI in the classroom. 

We entered two teams into this year’s Middle School Olympiad, made up of students in Year 9 who have not yet had the opportunity to formally study Ethics. These students prepared thoroughly for their first time in this event and enthusiastically learned about new concepts and ethical frameworks. Both teams successfully and respectfully explored the set cases through a variety of lenses and considered perspectives from different cultures, genders, ages and experiences.

It is with great pleasure that we congratulate all involved and, in particular, our ‘Black’ Team (Aria, Aoife, Vittoria and Lillian) who were awarded an Honourable Mention in this year’s competition.
