National High School Mooting Competition


Twelve teams progressed to the Semi-Finals that were held on campus at Bond University on the Gold Coast on Saturday, 1 June 2024. The Grand Final of the 2024 National High School Mooting Competition was held later on the same day.  

The Grand Final was judged by the Honourable Justice Robert Gotterson AO (retired judge of the Queensland Supreme Court of Appeal), the Honourable Judge John Newton (retired judge of the Queensland District Court) and Associate Professor Wendy Bonython. The teams that progressed to the Grand Final were Cranbrook School and Fintona Girls’ School.  

The standard across the entire competition was incredibly high, and this was again evident in both the Semi-Final and Grand Final rounds. The winning team, runner-up team, third placed team, and the best oralists of the 2024 National High School Mooting Competition were announced at an awards ceremony and celebration hosted on Saturday afternoon, and it is my great pleasure to now share the results with you all.
