Senior School Ethics Olympiad

On 2 May, 10 senior students competed in the Senior School Ethics Olympiad. The competition involved us sharing and responding to perspectives on various contemporary case studies of ethical issues from our day-to-day lives, ranging from veganism to mandatory military service. We had the opportunity to compete against 40 teams from schools across Australia online and meet judges from across Australia who shared their expertise in ethics and philosophy with us.

Our Santa Sabina Red Team received an honourable mention, and the Santa Sabina Purple Team was awarded a Bronze medal! The Olympiad was so much fun, the day goes by really fast and it’s great to hear from the other teams and judges about their perspectives on the issues. The competition’s also unique because you’re encouraged to change your opinion and collaborate with the team you’re competing against. I recommend the Ethics Olympiad to anyone who’s interested!
