To me, debating is one of my favourite arts, letting students interact and perform. This term our debating team had one of our very first debates against Northbridge Public School, and we all enjoyed it very much. The Year Five team received a topic posing if all schools should incorporate an exchange program in Year Six for four weeks. Overall, our speakers went well, and our main point of feedback was to pivot our rebuttals at the opposing team’s weak spots and introduce our points better. The Year Five team was victorious, and we tried our very best! We are excited for our next debate against Willoughby Public School soon.

Last week, on Friday, two of our school debating teams travelled to Northbridge Public School to compete in our first round of the year. The topic was ‘That children should be paid for household chores.’ Unfortunately, the Year 6 team lost, but the Year 5 team had great success. We learnt lots, working with our teams, and had fun debating with Northbridge. Overall, we had a great experience, and took on lots of informative feedback for our next debate!
