Debating

The Debating Club  meets on Thursdays at 1250 in S6

It is an opportunity for students to develop public speaking skills and possibly take part in external tournaments. 

Students need to be willing to participate fully in researching and delivering presentations and will need a reasonable knowledge of current affairs and to hold views of their own which they are willing to defend.
