Debating

Junior School Program - Debating 

On Thursday, 15th October, our Year 7 and 8 debating team of Eamonn Kearney, Erica Cheong-Holdaway, and Indigo O’Brien took part in their first interschool debate as part of the Junior School Program run by the Debaters Association of Victoria against Illim College at Coburg High School. 

The topic was “That standardised testing (e.g NAPLAN) does more harm than good.” Our team was debating on the affirmative, but unfortunately lost by 3 points. This was a good score considering it was our first debate and gives us areas to focus on for the next round on October 29th.
