Yesterday McCallums Hill Public School Premier's debaters had their first debate for 2013. McCallums Hill Premier's debaters were debating against Brighton Le-Sands Premier's debaters at Brighton Le-Sands Public School.
The topic was ‘Schools should have fewer school holidays' and we were the negative team.
Our speakers were:
1st speaker: Zachariah F.
2nd speaker: Georgia P.
3rd speaker: Lukas G.
Team Advisor: Liliana G.
They did not win the debate, however the debaters spoke really well and our rebuttals were well thought out. The students had some good arguments for the topic and thoroughly enjoyed their time and experience as for many of these students this was their first time debating.
The students received the topic one hour prior to the debate and had to each prepare a 4 minute speech without any teacher assistance.
Both Mrs Halabi & Mrs Vajdevski are extremely proud of our debaters and we look forward to future debates.
