Senior Ethics Olympiad (2023 info coming soon)

The Ethics Olympiad provides schools with a unique opportunity to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration and communication.  During an Ethics Olympiad students engage with each other and students from other schools on interesting and relevant cases. Students work as a team to respond to questions while building and critiquing their own and others’ arguments.  

On the day of the Olympiad all students are involved in a series of four Ethics Olympiad heats where they will be scored according to set criteria which rewards clear, concise, respectful discourse in response to questions about the ethical cases. Judges award points on the basis of clear, concise, critical and collaborative thinking.
