Our Year 12 Economics students have successfully submitted their entries to the prestigious John Locke Institute Global Essay Competition 2026.

The competition challenges students to deepen their subject knowledge, develop their academic writing skills, and construct well-reasoned arguments supported by research and evidence. Entries are assessed by leading academics from world-renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, and Princeton.

This year, our students tackled a range of challenging and thought-provoking questions. Harshini and Haidar explored whether Jeff Bezos became wealthy at the expense of his customers or employees.
