Debating

Debating News

Heats for the two inter-school competitions that run in Semester 1, the Independent Schools Debating Association (ISDA) and Friday Evening Debating (FED), will be completed this week. Although Debating started over Zoom at the start of the year, it has been a pleasure to enjoy some face-to-face debating in recent weeks, with parents coming to watch.

With the heats over, it is a great opportunity to say a massive congratulations to all those who have participated in both these competitions. All of our sixteen teams have at least one win, with a number of teams having won several rounds in the preliminary debates. A special mention goes to FED 8As who have won all but one debate thus far!

Next week we will find out which ISDA and FED teams have progressed to the elimination rounds.

Please contact Mrs Beggs, Debating Co-ordinator at r.beggs@redlands.nsw.edu.au or Benedict Adamson, Debating Captain, if you are not already a Debater but would like to become involved – and keep an eye out for information about House Debating in Terms 2 and 3.
