International Senior Ethics Olympiad

By Ms Jeanette Clayton, Acting Head of History, Philosophy and RaVE

On 27 July, five Radford students competed in the International Senior Ethics Olympiad after winning gold in the ACT competition in May. The students were Terry Yang (Year 12), Olivia Wang (Year 12), Holly Todd (Year 12), Pippa Humphries (Year 11) and Edi Lupton (Year 11).

Topics included national service, tax, anger in politics, and the Fifth Industrial Revolution. The students were required to think critically and creatively and apply philosophical frameworks to each issue.

While the Radford team did not place in the top three, they were recognised by the judges as coming very close. Being selected for this competition is a significant achievement, and I congratulate each of these students for their dedication to the competition.
