Debate Mate Round 1

On Tuesday, our team of debating pupils entered their first ever competition at another school.

We took two teams, and both teams took part in two debates each. The motions were:

"This House would ban homework for all pupils"

and

"This House would ensure all adults look after their elderly parents"

The teams had 15 minutes to plan their arguments, and then debated against teams from other schools. They were absolutely amazing and their arguments came across brilliantly. They spoke clearly and confidently and challenged the other teams with Points of Information, and hard-hitting questions.

 

I am really proud to announce that out of the four debates they took part in, they won three of them!!! They were absolutely delighted to be put through to the next round, which will take place in a couple of months time.

 

Well done!
