Late last term, all year 7’s participated in a debating unit in their English classes. From there, students were selected to represent their class in an interclass debating competition. The first round commenced on Wednesday of week 2 where 7.1 took on 7.2, debating the topic:

“That parents should limit the amount of time children can use technology outside of school hours”

7.2 finished victorious on the day in a close debate, with special mention to Jack who filled in for a sick group member.

7.2 then took on 7.3 on Wednesday of week 4 in the next round, debating the topic:

“That corporal punishment should be reintroduced in schools”

It was an extremely close result with some excellent points and rebuttals on both sides. Congratulations to Sarsho, Maria, Emily, Levi, Victoria and Sophie from 7.2 who came out victorious.
