ON THE CASE
A team of Year 5 students from Frederick Irwin Anglican School have come out on top, winning the 2022 Cluedunnit Kids competition. The competition is a Statewide event run by the WA Law Society, with 900 students participating across Western Australia.
The students said they had relished the challenge and enjoyed learning more about the entire process of an investigation including the types of evidence and legal principles. The Cluedunnit team, consisting of Jasmine Burtenshaw, Aarush Godavarti, Jrson Liew and Xavier De Pinto, had to analyse the evidence brief, ask clarifying questions and apply legal principles to decide on appropriate charges for the offenders. The second part of the competition required groups to present their findings in the most creative way possible. This year’s Judging Panel members included some of Western Australia’s top legal minds; the Chief Magistrate of Western Australia, Mr Steven Heath, Magistrate Wendy Hughes, Children’s Court of Western Australia representative, Sergeant Garry Corker, WA Police, Claire Rossi, Legal Aid WA, Professor Robert Cunningham, Dean and Head of Law School, Curtin University and the President of the Law Society, Ms Rebecca Lee.
The four students recently received their medals, a plaque for the school, and a $300 book prize voucher. Team member Jrson Liew presented an acceptance speech on behalf of his team members. Principal Mrs Tracey Gray highlighted the amazing effort of the four students, who worked hard on their submission, with the support of Learning Enrichment Teacher Mrs Jenni McRae.
