Debating

Congratulations to all the ISDA teams for their outstanding performance last Friday night during our first hosting session against Kincoppal.

The Primary teams debated on the topic, “That schools should only use books popular amongst students (e.g., Harry Potter) to teach English,” while the Senior teams tackled “Health.” The unanimous wins in Round 4 are a testament to their dedication and the hard work they put in during Monday afternoon training sessions. 

The Eastside debaters also had a fantastic start to the season, traveling to Sydney Girls High School for Round 1. The Year 8 team secured their first win of the competition, debating on the topic of “Education.” 

Looking ahead, this Friday we will be traveling to Monte for ISDA and hosting Sydney Grammar for Eastside.  

The ISDA bus will depart at 3.30pm, and the Eastside teams will meet in the Cafeteria immediately after school. We encourage all debaters to support each other during hosting rounds, which includes this Friday evening for Eastside debaters. 

Best of luck to all teams for their upcoming debates!
