Debating

Congratulations to the ISDA Primary A, Primary B, Year 7, Senior B, and Senior A teams for winning their debates on Friday. Congratulations also to all our Eastside teams who won their debates.

This Friday is the final round of debates for ISDA. Debates will be held at Barker College. The bus will leave straight after school, so all ISDA debaters should come straight to the Green Gate courtyard. This means it is especially important that ISDA debaters remember to pack palm-cards/paper and pens that morning.

Parents who wish to attend their daughter’s debate at Barker, or pick their daughter up, can park under the Rosewood Centre on Unwin Road (Gate 6), and then follow the signs to debating, which will be in the Kefford building. The carpark will be open for entry between 5:30-8:15 –– those arriving outside that time will need to park on the street.

The bus will return to SCEGGS at the conclusion of the senior debates. This means we will leave Barker at approximately 9:15.

A reminder also that the Year 7 Eastside team has their make-up debate against SGHS this Friday. The debate will take place on Zoom and will be finished by 7:15pm.

Debating resumes next term in Week 1. Round 6 of Eastside will be held at SCEGGS on Friday 29 April, and Year 10 and Year 11 have their make-up ISDA debates on Zoom.
