Debating update

It is another exciting year for debating at Northcote High School. This update will focus on the D.A.V. inter-school competition.

Debating is all about research, writing and presenting arguments. It is also about teamwork and being there for your team. As well as speaking students also need to listen in order to rebut the arguments made by the other team. And when it comes to the adjudication my advice is always - WIN LOSE OR DRAW WE LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.

Students in the D.A.V. competition meet in M7 during Monday lunchtimes
Students in the Year 7 competition meet in M7 during Tuesday lunchtimes
International Students meet after school on Thursdays in the International Student Centre
