Order in the court! Our brilliant Year 8 & 9 students had a remarkable opportunity to meet a real magistrate as part of their preparation for the Mock Magistrates Court Competition — gaining valuable real-world insights and sharpening their legal skills along the way. 

They brought that experience to life in the courtroom, showcasing incredible confidence, skill, and preparation. The lead magistrate was especially impressed by their insightful questioning and courtroom presence — true professionals in the making! 

A huge thank you to Dr. Young for leading and supporting the team through debate clubs and legal events.

Meet the team:
Magistrates: Jodha Wahiwala, Riku Ozawa, Charlotte Freer
Usher/Legal Adviser: Charlie Sheppard
Defendant & Witness: Josiah Standbrook
Lawyers: Xyana Leonardo, Lekhani Kancharana, Sayuj Dhital (also a witness)

We’re so proud of these students — and can’t wait to compete again next year!
