Debating

The debating season is off to a fantastic start, with SCEGGS competing in the first round of ISDA last Friday at PLC. Congratulations to the Primary A, Year 9, Year 10, and Senior B teams who won their debates.

This week is the first round of Eastside, and we are against SGHS. Eastside debates will take place (as a one-off) on Zoom, so debaters will stay at SCEGGS for the duration of the evening. Years 7-9 will finish their Eastside debates at 7:15pm, and Years 10-12 will finish their debates at 8:30pm.

The second round of ISDA is also this week, and ISDA debaters are travelling to Newington for their debates. The bus will leave SCEGGS at 4:00pm and leave Newington at 9:00pm.

A reminder to both Eastside and ISDA debaters to bring a substantial supper to eat before debates, as schools are unable to provide food and it is a long evening. Please also make sure you have paper and pens.

Best of luck to all debaters for Friday!
