Senior Ethics Olympiad
On Monday 5 May, two teams, from Year 11 and 12 competed in the Senior Ethics Olympiad that took place over Zoom. This year’s competition looked at 8 cases which students analysed and discussed real-life, timely, ethical issues. The Ethics Olympiad differs from debating in that students are not assigned opposing views, rather they defend whatever position they believe is right and win by showing that they have thought carefully, deeply and perceptively about the case in question. The competition involved discussing and refuting cases against a range of schools in NSW, being judged on ethical theories and moral objectivism.
A big congratulations to the following two teams of eth-letes who represented the College, with team one achieving an Honourable Mention from the judges!
Team 1:
- Carol Zhong
- Sarina Chou
- Aya Elachi
- Olivia Curto
- Isabella Xenos
Team 2:
- Cate Camarda
- Isabelle Ung
- Bianca Fortunato
- Ava Burns Bonnici
- Lilyana Mitrevska
Through this competition, our eth-letes developed their critical thinking skills through engaging in important discussions with each other and students from other schools. The teams worked hard preparing over the last 7 weeks, demonstrating exceptional teamwork and collaboration.
