Senior Debating Update

On the 4th of March the Year 11 and 12 debating team faced St George Girls High School in the first round of Premiers Debating Challenge. The team included:

● First speaker – Raj Joshi,

● Second speaker – Jim Wilson,

● Third speaker – Gabe Cutcher Skellern,

● Team advisor – Sujay Chanduri.

Fort Street represented the affirmative side to the argument that ‘all new teacher graduates should spend a year in a public school before going to a private school.’

The St George team provided compelling arguments that challenged the Fort Street team to defend their model. The debate ended with both sides presenting undeniably compelling arguments but Fort Street’s initiative regarding student welfare helped them win the debate!
