The Swannie Awards are named after Alan Swanwick, a long-time member of the Debaters Association of Victoria and a pioneer of debating in Victoria. “Swannies” are awarded to the speaker in each region and grade who has the highest average speaker score after completing at least three debates during the year. The average is calculated solely on speaker scores, and is not affected by the best speaker awards that are announced at the end of each debate.

 

Congratulations Remus!

 

Also, on the 7th October our A Grade team – Will Hamilton, Sophie Mayes and Zoe Cuthbertson - competed in the Quarter finals but lost by 2 points.  These senior debaters, along with Ava Griffin, have had an excellent Finals season.
