Debating News
After a few weeks of very competitive debating, it is with great pleasure and pride that we announce our OLM Year 8 Debating Team as WINNERS of the 2024 Regional Catholic Schools Debating Competition. The topic for this debate was ‘That we should be encouraged to cheat’.
Well done to team members: Saoirse O’Brien, Kate Middlemiss, Sophie George and Tamarli Haydon who successfully defeated St Vincent’s, Ashfield.
Our Year 7 Debating team were valiant in their bid to progress from the Semi Final to the Grand Final but alas unsuccessful against Bethany College. The topic for debate was ‘That Australia is becoming a selfish society’. The students were challenged after being a member down, unfortunately due to illness. Their performance was judged as being a very close call from a very professional team. Well done.
