Secondary School Ethics Olympiad

Secondary School Ethics Olympiad

 

Selected students in the Secondary School sat comfortably around a table in our Pedagogy Room today, where they participated in the Ethics Olympiad via Zoom. ️

This Olympiad is a collaborative competition where students analyse and discuss real-life, timely issues online.

Unlike a debate, students are not assigned opposing views; instead, they support the position they feel is most authentic and win by exhibiting a more honest and thoughtful perception of the cases.

Today, we held our 2023 Canterbury College Junior School Public Speaking Competition, where selected students from Years 3-6 aspired to entertain, persuade or inform their audience with a particular topic.

This practical approach gave our students hands-on experience to demonstrate the impact and influence of language on their audience.

Our judges awarded them points based on the structure of their speech, whether it was well-paced, had consistent volume, was clear and audible, and if it utilised technical or emotive vocabulary alongside their original context.

The student's body language was also critical in garnering points and enhancing delivery effectiveness.

Well done to these brave students for stepping up and participating in something most people fear!
