Debating Report: DAV Schools Competition Round 2

After a very successful first round, our Huntingtower debating teams returned to Wesley College on the 11th of March for round two. 

All grades had set topics: 

• A Grade: We regret the rise of cancel culture 
• B Grade: The government should fund universal free childcare
• C Grade: That we support mandatory national service
• D Grade: That animal testing should be banned.  

The topics provided some fantastic debates both to watch and to participate in. Once again, we have achieved outstanding results with 8 out of 11 teams winning their debates. 

Again, all of our A and C grade teams won their debates.

We additionally had many Huntingtower student being awarded best speaker: 

• Kallista Amery, (Year 12/A Grade) 
• Anjali Sharma (Year 11/B Grade)
• Lachlan Kelaart (Year 10/C Grade)
• Nihar Patil (Year 9/D Grade)
• Daniel Liang (Year 9/D Grade) 
• Chloe Davies (Year 9/D Grade).

Congratulations to everyone who participated! The next round will take place on April 29, with many grades participating in their first secret topics of the year!
