Papanui HS students win ethics olympiad PAPANUI HIGH School has won gold at the Australasian Ethics Olympiad, with a quartet of year 10 students showcasing superior logic against more than 250 rival institutions. Shelby Allen, Indie Lewis, Chloe Morrison-Clarke and Josh Rae either presented compelling arguments or effectively questioned opposing teams on eight topics including the ethics of enforced quarantine for Covid-19 and the repatriation of fighters from international terrorism networks. Judging panels featuring ethicists and philosophers from around the world weighed up the participants’ perceptive thinking when confronted with moral dilemmas. Papanui High progressed from a series of round-robin debates to a 24-team finals series last week, comprising teams from New Zealand and each Australian state and territory. In the final tally of judges scores Papanui High finished clear of closest challenger Iona College from Perth, Western Australia. “It’s a useful way for students to build ethical decision-making muscle and hone an ability to respectfully discuss deeply contentious questions facing an increasingly complex and divided world,” said team coach Jo Dwan. “There’s a real emphasis on promoting respectful dialogue around ethical issues,” Dwan said. It is the third year Papanui High has entered the olympiad, and success was particularly sweet for Australian-born Dwan. “We beat every private school in Australia, it was very enjoyable,” the English teacher said. The ethics olympiad was inspired by the United States’ Ethics Bowl, an intercollegiate tournament that started more than 30 years ago.
