Debating

Search

Interschool debating is an enriching experience that empowers students to develop crucial skills while having a great time.

Debating is open to all students who are passionate about effective communication and critical thinking. No prior debating experience is required; just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. With each team consisting of four or more students, it's a collaborative journey towards growth and camaraderie.

Debates take place at various schools on five evenings between 7 and 9pm throughout Semester 1. See also, Debating Club.
