Debating

The FED Grand Final at Redlands was a success with visiting students, parents and staff congratulating Redlands on the smooth running of the evening. They were particularly impressed with our students who were excellent hosts. Lily Wickham, Captain of Debating, addressed a crowd of over 200 people and distributed the certificates. While our FED students were not debating in any of the finals, they were there on the night to help with the organisation and running of the evening. Despite almost no breaks, and at times a very busy schedule, they not only completed everything they were asked to do without complaint, but with a cheerful attitude and willingness to do any task asked of them. In particular, the Yrs 7 and 8 students involved must have made over 50 trips to and from the various rooms, with some students doing over twenty flights of stairs in quick succession to walk guests to the correct rooms. Thank you to all the students who were here on the night and made the night a success. Thank you also to Ms Dooley, Mr Ockenden and Ms Wilson who helped run the competition on the evening.

Debating next term: Students are requested to complete an expression of interest in the SDN Debating competition which will be held next term. Register interest here. Registrations close this Friday.
