Magis Report 

The end of the year affords us the opportunity to reflect and to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Magis students. What a year 2025 has been! Our students have pushed themselves further in all areas of College life – from their academic achievements and their commitment to extra-curricular activities to their service and leadership within the College and wider community. To all our amazing students, thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and passion for all things Magis. It has been an absolute joy to teach you. To our Year 12 leaders, thank you for your outstanding commitment and leadership over the past five years. May the philosophy of Magis continue to guide you on your academic journey. Thank you to our wonderful parents, family and friends who have supported our talented students. And lastly, thank you to our brilliant and incredibly generous staff who have assisted with the continued success of the Magis program.

Magis: Opportunities to do more!

WA Law Society Mock Trial Competition

The WA Law Society coordinates an inter-school Mock Trial Competition for students in Years 10 to 12. A mock trial is a simulated court case in which teams contest a fictitious legal matter in the WA court system. The cases are presented by two teams – a prosecution/plaintiff team and a defence/defendant team – comprising students who play the roles of barristers, solicitors, witnesses, and court officials. The Mock Trial Competition offers students the opportunity to acquire valuable skills in research, as well as in developing and presenting persuasive arguments. An information session will be held for students on Monday, 10 February at lunchtime in A9. For further information, please see the flyer below. Nominations close Friday, 20 February 2026 (Week 3).

Ethics Olympiad Case Writing Competition

Ethics Olympiad are holding a case writing competition with prize money to be won. Submissions should follow the general format for Ethics Olympiad cases: a scenario, between 400 and 800 words long, which highlights a clear moral issue and is appropriate for middle or high-school students and is written in a way that encourages civil discourse. The scenario should be framed so that the central issue is clearly moral and not simply or primarily legal or professional. Knowledge of the structure of the Ethics Olympiad competition is important, and it is for that reason that we would recommend the case writing competition to students who have previously participated in an Ethics Olympiad.

Entries due by 23 April 2026, view Ethics Olympiad website (Case Competition - EthicsOlympiad) for further details.
