MOCK LAW

Bond Mooting Congratulations to Catherine Shi (Year 12) and Kitty He (Year 11) who attended the semi-finals of Bond Mooting on Saturday 7 June at Bond University on the Gold Coast. Unfortunately, Kiki Chen (Year 11) was unable to attend due to sickness. Both Catherine and Kitty did very well, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of Bond University. A highlight of the trip was watching a Moot from the staff and students of Bond.

Young Justice At our recent excursion to the Young Justice Day, we discovered that our lecturer was a Pymble Alumni who lectures in Ethics and the Law. We are delighted that she is keen to return to Pymble for a tour and to conduct a lunchtime session in Jobson Lecture Theatre on Monday 23 June for all interested in Ethics and Law. See you there!
