Debating
Debating
Southland Secondary Schools debating Competition held at JHC on September 6.
We hosted the competition at JHC and the uni student debaters travelled from Dunedin to adjudicate. It was a tremendously successful competition with our school taking three of the four cups.
After a forum initiated by the student leaders at JHC, it was decided the uni students would run a Southland development squad tutored through Google Classroom by their debaters. It is an exciting prospect because it will enhance debating in all the participating schools.
