School Debating Update

The Premier’s Debating Challenge is in full swing in Term 2 with Fort Street having some strong and convincing victories in the competition. Firstly, a big congratulations to our Year 11 and 12 Debating Team who have made it through to Round 6 with some big wins over some top tier opposition. The team consists of Johnathan Bonnice (Year 12), Min Park (Year 11), Ella Lo (Year 11), Gina Hong (Year 11) and Toby Smith (Year 11). We wish you all the best luck for your next debate against Penrith High School.

The Junior debating season has already started with Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 completing their first round of the Premier’s Debating Competition. The Year 9 and 10 debate saw a crowd of excited Year 7 and 8 students eager to see how their peers engage in verbal combat. The combined Year 9 and 10 A team defeated the Year 9 B team in a hotly contested debate. The following week in a packed out Auditorium the Year 8 team narrowly defeated the Year 7 team in a tightly fought contest.

The junior teams all move on to their second and third round debates against Tempe High School, Marrickville High School and Sydney Tech High School.
