Eastside Debating Competition Round 3

Rose Bay hosted an exciting round of the Eastside Debating Competition on Friday March 13 against Cranbrook. We had a series of competitive and engaging debates where our students were able to demonstrate their developing skills as they continue their coaching. Our wonderful debaters represented themselves and the school wonderfully. We had some excellent results with our Year 7, 8 and 11 teams registering victories. 

The topics for the debates were as follows:

  • Year 7 – That the government should fund a foreign exchange for all high school students.
  • Years 8 & 9 - That it should be compulsory for Year 12 students to study a science subject.
  • Years 10, 11 & 12 - That the government should not provide funding for religious schools.

A special thanks to all the wonderful students who supported the event as ushers, timekeepers, chair people and the canteen, whose catering continues to be a big hit with the hungry debaters, teachers and parents. It was an outstanding effort by everyone during these trying times.

Over the course of the competition we will highlight a debater who performed at a high standard with our debater of the week award. This week’s winner is Hattie, who has been a regular for the Year 11 team and helped lead her team to their first victory of the season.
