Year 7 Debating
25 July
At the end of Term 2, Year 7 students were involved in the creation and presentation of a debate. The students were in charge of planning a debate in groups of 4 on a worldwide issue. A few other students were picked to be a Chairperson and Timekeeper. If they were a Chairperson, they also had to produce a script that they used during the debate.
I'm Ruby Townsing and I was one of the few Chairpersons for this 2023 Year 7 debate. I really enjoyed the job of being a Chairperson because I got to conduct the debate and explain the rules of the debate. I also got to say who was in the debate and I got to call on people to speak. It was very fun and I would do it again.

Towards the end of Term 2, Year 7 students were involved in creating and presenting a debate about a topic of their choice. This involved researching our topic of choice, scripting arguments for each member of the group and then presenting to the rest of the class. During this unit students learnt some valuable skills such as; gaining more confidence in public speaking and in the classroom; developing better critical thinking skills; and being able to express our opinions in a safe classroom environment.
