Two weeks ago, PBC entered two teams in the Queensland Secondary Schools Ethics Olympiad. PBC was placed 1st and 3rd overall, winning both Gold and Bronze. Students discussed eight cases involving ethical issues such as COVID vaccinations, disposable fashion and defunding the police. They were mentally exhausted at the end of the day – all talked out, but very happy. ‘We wish school was like this every day,’ they commented. Judges came from Universities across Australia and gave both teams honourable mention for their knowledge of and ability to discuss ethics. PBC will be entering a team in the Junior Olympiad held in November this year.
