Unlike traditional debating, the focus here is not on winning an argument but on collaborative discussion, critical thinking, and moral reasoning.

Teams of students work together to analyse complex ethical dilemmas and engage in structured dialogue with other schools, guided by trained adjudicators—often philosophers, educators, or ethics professionals.

This is your chance to sharpen your reasoning skills, explore big questions about right and wrong, and learn how to communicate ideas with clarity and respect. If you enjoy thoughtful discussion and want to challenge your perspective, join the Ethics and Philosophy Club and be part of the conversation.
