Friday 25 October 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rooms were buzzing with energy and excitement as students from about eight schools gathered for the IPSHA Debating Day held on 25 October 2024. The event, hosted by William Clarke College, Kellyville, saw many young debaters tackle contemporary issues with vigour and insightful arguments. The topics under debate included, \u2018that YouTube is Better Than Television\u2019 and \u2018that Pet Shops Should Be Banned in Australia.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day kicked off with the contentious topic of whether YouTube surpasses traditional television. Arguments for YouTube highlighted its vast content variety, accessibility, and the platform\u2019s interactive nature, allowing viewers to engage directly with creators. On the other hand, television proponents emphasised the medium’s quality content, regulation standards, and the nostalgic communal viewing experience it offers. Students exhibited exceptional research skills, critical thinking, and eloquence as they navigated this debate, showcasing their ability to analyse modern media landscapes comprehensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second debate, addressing the potential ban on pet shops in Australia, brought forth passionate perspectives. Those in favour argued about the ethical concerns associated with pet shops, such as animal welfare and the promotion of adopting from shelters. Opponents, however, contended that pet shops provide a regulated, reliable option for acquiring pets and support local businesses. Throughout the discussion, students demonstrated outstanding empathy, respect for differing viewpoints, and in-depth understanding of ethical and economic implications, reflecting their maturity and depth of thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adjudicators commended the Santa Sabina students for their remarkable ability to articulate their views convincingly and respectfully, highlighting the development of invaluable life skills like public speaking, research, and critical analysis. Additionally, I would like to congratulate the girls for their dedication, effort, and sportsmanship. It was a wonderful day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
