Premier’s Debating Challenge Quarter-finals

This term, our Year 8 Debating Team, Rex, Zoe, Madeleine, and Hana, competed in the quarter-finals round in the Premier’s Debating Challenge.  

Students were cheered on by their peers as they debated against North Sydney Girls High School. Our students impressed all with the cohesive arguments presented. 

The adjudicators were equally impressed with the quality of the debate. The decision was split with a 2-3 split-vote to decide the winner.  Such a close result!

While the team were unsuccessful in progressing to the semi-finals, they can be proud to have made it this far and to holding their own against one of the top selective schools in Sydney. The team are keen to take onboard the feedback and return next year.  

Thank you to Mr Moon and Ms Douglas for their coaching.

Congratulations on making it to the quarter-finals, team! We look forward to seeing you all again!
