Debate Mate Trip to the Urban Debate League
This week, 18 students from our Debate Club went to St George's Catholic School to compete in the first round of the Urban Debate League, the largest debating competition in the country.
At Debate Club, over the last few months, our students from years 7 to 9 have been learning new oracy skills, practising the art of debating with mentors from Debate Mate.
Having worked hard in their sessions, learning the structure of debate and how to present (and break down) arguments, three teams from the debate club put their new skills to the test, competing in two proper debates at the competition this Thursday.
