Last week, our Year 6 Gold Debating Team competed in their first ever debate. The team debated the topic, “Climate change is humanity’s greatest threat,” against St John XXIII Catholic College. While they narrowly missed out on the win, they worked hard to prepare and deliver thoughtful speeches, as well as collaborate and support each other. Thank you to our students who assisted as chairperson, timekeeper and visitor hosts. We are incredibly proud of the effort, courage and teamwork shown by all students. We look forward to our Blue team's debate in Week 7.
