Debating

ISDA and FED

Congratulations on a successful Round 1, ISDA and FED teams. Cranbrook and Riverview visited last Friday, and we had 32 teams debating. A huge shout out to Mrs Aimy Hoang and all the parent volunteers who provided afternoon tea and supper. Well done to our round one winning teams.

This Friday we are double hosting once again, with Queenwood visiting for ISDA, Round 2 and Trinity visiting for FED, Round 2. ISDA will be in KM and FED will be in the Upper School Common area and surrounding classrooms. Thanks in advance to our parents and Language Arts support team for providing refreshments again as we double host. Please arrive early for debates and be aware that Icebreaker will also be running at the school this Friday.

Next Friday FED will be travelling to Newington and ISDA will be travelling to Barker for Round 3. Buses will leave from Flagpole. Please ensure that you have booked tickets through Co-curricular Administration, should you wish your daughter to travel on the FED or ISDA buses. Coaches will accompany. Buses will only travel to debating venues and girls will need to be collected at the conclusion of their debates. Parents are welcome to watch. Venue and parking details for away debates will be passed on to parents via Co-curricular Administration once they are received.
