Debating

Welcome to SCEGGS Debating for 2022! I hope that 2022 will be a year where we see lots of new and old faces in our debating program. Debating is a great activity that helps you to think on your feet, builds your confidence speaking in front of people, and teaches you how to understand and construct arguments. SCEGGS is involved in a number of inter-school debating competitions, but we also welcome girls who would like to attend training without debating competitively.

For Year 7, there will be Introduction to Debating sessions on Friday 4, Monday 7, and Friday 11 February, from 3:10-5:30. These will cover the basics of debating, while also making sure all students get a chance to experience thinking of, writing, and delivering arguments.

Training for Years 7-10 will be held on Monday afternoons from 3:10pm-5:30pm. If you can’t make this time, but would still be involved, please get in touch.

You can sign up for debating at the Co-curricular expo, or by attending the next training session. There is also lots of information about debating at SCEGGS on the Debating Cognito page.
