Kia ora all,

Debating is starting soon and we would love to have you on a team! Debating is a fun way to build confidence in public speaking and to think deeply about a range of topics. Teams of 3-6 members will debate against other schools around the region throughout the year.

We will be having a meeting on Friday to discuss details.
Meeting: Friday the 7th of February, during lunchtime, in RO5 (down the sports driveway behind the colourfully painted bathroom).

This meeting is mainly for those who are new to debating, or if you have any questions. If you have been part of debating before and are keen to sign up again, then you can sign up at this link: https://forms.gle/Sagk1dwcjHF3KHVy7 

Entries are due by the 11th of February.

Round one of debates will start at the end of this month and run until the end of June, with finals extending until August. Debates run on different days after schools depending on whether you are a junior or a senior (junior on Wednesday, senior on Thursday, junior and senior prem (top teams) on Tuesday. They run about once every three weeks. There will be some lunchtime meetings to prepare for debates.

There is a small fee involved to join a debate team, which covers the costs of running the competition.
