Student Achievement
Debating Training
06 November
A group of Year 7 and 8 students participated in a debating training day on Friday 25 October, organised by the Debaters Association of Victoria.
Organisers of the event delivered a mock debate and training sessions, then students competed in two debates against Ballarat Grammar, Loreto College, St Patrick's College and Sacred Heart College. This unique experience enabled students to fine tune their skills and take part in two debates against competing schools.
The topics debated included: ‘That we should ban advertisements that target children,’ and ‘That technology has been harmful to learning at school,’ which would have brought some rich conversation on both the affirmative and negative teams, of each debate.
Well done to those involved.
