Ethical leadership affects everyone: College Fellow Laureate Prof Adrienne Clarke AC
(1955) addressed the Ethical Decision Making Summit

Ethical leadership in a residential setting?

JCH hosts a national conversation

While difficult at the time, many at the Australian Defence Force Academy would thank Australian Sex Discrimination
Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick for focusing attention on its treatment of women. In July ADFA visited JCH to join with other
residential colleges, the Institute of Sport, and the Australian Federal Police as the College hosted this year’s ‘Ethical Decision
Making Summit’. Participants engaged on such varied topics as bystander responsibility in violence, cheating in sport, and the
role of ‘initiation’ in residential culture. The Principal, who has watched the summit develop since its inception in 2012, believes
that the willingness of ADFA cadets to engage with student leaders from other residential settings has been transformative for
all: ‘ADFA and university colleges across Australia are learning from each other on the ways in which all students can be treated
with equal respect’.

service?’), alumnae Jacky Oulton (2011) and Imogen Stafford (2010)
(‘How do I best prepare for the graduate entry examinations to law
