MLC School is Top Debating Girls’ School

MLC School won two age groups in the Archdale Grand Finals and was named the Top Debating Girls school for 2022.

Held at SCEGGS Darlinghurst, the undefeated Year 8A team and ISDA Champions took the Affirmative side against Kambala and were narrowly defeated.

The Year 8B team are FED (Friday Evening Debating) Champions and were also undefeated this season. They took the Negative side against Kambala and were the winners.

The Year 9 team are previous Archdale Champions and were determined to defeat Mount Saint Benedicts in their debate. They were named the winners after a long nervous wait as the three adjudicators conferred.

There was much celebration from the students, coaches, and proud parents and our new Debating Captain was also there to lend support. The smiles in the photos as we clutch our trophies says it all.

A big thank you to the talented and dedicated Archdale debating coaches, all the parents who have quietly supported me and all the debaters throughout the year. 

* The Archdale Shield award goes to the School who has accumulated the most points throughout the competition.
