HICES Debating
The 2023 HICES competition will begin early in the new year, and teams are already being formed. Students will have a chance to join at the beginning of Term 1 in the Middle (Years 7-8) and Senior (Years 9-10) divisions.
MISA Debating
Our Year 7 and 8 MISA Debating teams contested well this semester, in a highly competitive competition. Many students tried something new, taking up debating for the first time and I am pleased with their skill development.
In Semester One of 2023, the new Years 9 and 10 competition will begin, again during Sport time each week.
I encourage students to take up the challenge of this important academic skill in either or both of these debating competitions, in the new year.
There are a few other events planned for 2023, so stay tuned for more details!
Call out for adjudicators!
We would welcome adjudicators from our alumni or parent community to be involved in our growing debating program at Thomas Hassall. Please email Mrs Rodriguez if you are interested in adjudicating or coaching. [email protected]
