Debating

SDN Competition

Congratulations to the Yr 10, Yr 9, Yr 7, Primary B and Primary A teams who all had wins against Roseville last Friday.

This week is an away debate at Stella Maris. An email will be sent to all with venue details once we receive them from the school. The bus will leave the Adams Centre at 3.30pm with Mr Ockenden accompanying the students.

Yr 7 Inter-House Debates

The Yr 7 Inter-House debates had a nail biting finish when Dumolo debated Cowper that students should vote for Principals in schools. The model that the affirmative produced was very clever in saying that the School Board would shortlist candidates and then provide information to students on how to vote. We are very thankful for Redlander Maddie Lawrence who ably adjudicated the debate. It was so nice to have her give up her time so her alma mater could benefit from her Debating expertise.

Special thanks to Ela Kos and Aleisha Lawrence who took on a major role in running the event and to the coaches from Yr 10 and Yr 11 who spent a lot of time prepping their teams. Aleisha Lawrence, Sirena Scotting, James Watson and Theo Mirlees-Black were able to guide and inspire their teams.
