Warrnambool Eisteddfod Debating

The Warrnambool Eisteddfod Debating concluded last week. It was somewhat of a juggle for those students who were in the school musical in the same week!  Both our junior  SEAL classes participated as part of their English studies and I thank Kelly Brown and Matthew Buck for getting the students debate ready. We also had another 8 teams participate in the debating and all prepared well for the challenge! The year 7/8 perpetual shield was once again secured by the college.  Eliza McLauchlan was awarded 2nd best debater from all participating year 7 and 8 students across the region, a fantastic effort Eliza. The next best year 7/8  debaters in order were Chelsea Darkin, Hudson Harris, Paris Nagorka, Airlie O’Brien and Eliza Hoffman. Eliza McLauchlan, Eliza Hoffman and Thomas MacInnes will also receive medals for being members of the BEST DEBATE.

In the Years 9/10 section the team of Alison Boylan-Turner, Hannah Moon, Izzy Bateman and Ava Matheson achieved 3rd place in the middle school debates.

In the VCE section Breanna Billing won BEST DEBATER overall. Congratulations Breanna! Her team also comprised Tiffany Tracey and Monique Forbes. These three students will also receive medals for being part of the BEST DEBATE.

Well done to all involved including our excellent chairpersons!
