Debating & Public Speaking Club

The Debating and Public Speaking season is off to a remarkable start, with a wave of enthusiastic Year 7 students joining the club, along with a strong contingent of keen debaters from Years 8 and 9. These aspiring orators have been actively participating in lessons that explore the fundamentals of debating, including the structure of arguments, the roles of speakers, and the art of persuasive language.

Our Stage 6 Debating Team, comprised of Min Park, Gina Hong, Ella Lo, and Cara Zhong, has been on an incredible winning streak, advancing to Round 4 undefeated. Demonstrating exceptional skill and teamwork, they have won all their points in each debate, defeating formidable opponents such as Moorebank and Inner Sydney High.

As we look ahead, the Debating season for Years 7-10 is about to begin. The Debating Trials and team selection is in the process of occurring with teams due to be announced in the coming weeks. Our teams will soon face off in Round 1 of the Premiere’s Debating Challenge against local schools, including Leichhardt, Ashfield Boys, and Inner Sydney High, in what promises to be a thrilling and enriching experience for all involved.

We wish all our debaters the best of luck for the season ahead.
