Keen public speakers in Years 5-9 have signed up to be a part of an internal debating competition that will be held in morning tea breaks in Weeks 5-7. These beginning debaters spend time each week working as teams to prepare their arguments and structure their speeches.

Each team is working towards facing another team on topics such as, “Being the oldest sibling is better than being the youngest” and “School should start later in the morning”. Students are enjoying the opportunity to collaborate with others, consider a range of points of view and develop in confidence.
