We have had a great start to debating this year.
Two debating competitions are running currently, with our Wednesday lunchtime meetings focussed on preparation and training. Here is a summary of what has happened so far, as well as upcoming events.
MISA Debating Competition
Three rounds of the MISA Year 9 and 10 Debating Competition have taken place this term.
Round One: Bye
Round Two: THAC v St. Francis Catholic College. Year 9 narrowly lost and Year 10 won.
Round Three: THAC v Mount Carmel Catholic College. Both our Year 9 and 10 teams won.
HICES Debating Competition
There are three rounds in the round robin phase of the HICES competition. We have entered two teams in the Middle Division and one team in the Senior Division. Round One has finished up this week with our Middle teams competing against Georges River Grammar. Year 7 won and Year 8 narrowly lost. Our Senior team competed against Shellharbour Anglican College on Friday achieving an impressive win.
Well done to all students in our debating teams!

Prior to the Year 7 Debating competition beginning in Term 3, a Year 7 MISA. Debating Workshop will be held on Wednesday 10 May, 2023. Further details regarding this excursion will be sent to parents of students who have signed up for debating this year.
