Dazzling Debaters

Well done to our Year 6 debating team who took part in a workshop last Friday to further develop their debating skills. Thank you to the parents for providing transport and to Mrs Derricott for organising this event.

Debating Fun!

Well done to our Year 5 debating team who participated in the Arts Unit Premiers Debating Workshop at Marks Point PS last Thursday. The day was full of workshops and opportunities to practice debating techniques and loads of funny debating exercises! Our team did such an amazing job and represented our school beautifully. Thanks to Mrs Derricott for organising this great event.

Congratulations to our Year 6 Premier Debating team- Dayna, Rory, Eva and Joseph, who won their debate today against Mayfield East Public School. It was a tricky topic, that sporting games with point scoring should be banned in primary schools. Well done to our team for their great work.

Today our year 5 and 6 debaters took part in Round 3 of the Equity Debate Competition against Merewether Public School. Both teams had impressive arguments for an interesting and challenging topic – Hollywood has a lot to answer for – but it was Tighes Hill who were the winners today! Well done to Allan, Mitch, Amy and Jorji who will now commence to the semi finals of the competition. A big thank you also goes to our wonderful Miss Beker, who works so hard to make our public speaking and debating competitions a success!

Debating Champions!

This term has seen many of our OC students take part in a variety of Debating competitions including the Premiers Debating competition and the Equity Debating competition. Earlier this week our Year 5 girls participated in a debate against Lambton school. The debate topic was ‘that Australian models under the age of 18 should be banned’. The girls were successful arguing against this topic and won the debate. Well done!
