Year 9 Debating

Team Achievements

The Year 9 Debating Team has delivered an extraordinary performance this season showcasing great teamwork, diligence and determination. Team 2 was victorious against Tintern Grammar, taking out the title of Ringwood Regional Winner, represented by Nicole M (9.9), Priscilla P (9.12) and Leah C (8.5). A special congratulations goes to Priscilla, who was awarded Best Speaker for the Region. There were 18 debating teams in our region, so this is a remarkable achievement. Her articulate delivery, sharp rebuttals and diligent preparation earned her this well-deserved recognition. 

The team’s momentum did not stop at the regional level. They went gone on to win the Playoffs against Presbyterian Ladies College with Celina W-M (9.9) winning Best Speaker of the night. Unfortunately, the team lost in the Octo-final debate against Nossal High by just two points. Steffan S (9.9) won Best Speaker of the night in the Octo-final debate.

We are proud of their achievements, which reflect the strength of our Debating Program at Oxley.
