In-school Debating
Teaching debating in your classroom is a fantastic way to teach your students invaluable skills in research, writing, and information presentation.
Debating can be used as a vehicle for in-depth learning on a wide variety of topics across multiple Australian Curriculum learning outcomes.
​
Students participating in debating experience the challenge of developing persuasive arguments within a team context, researching and presenting information in new and exciting ways.
"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today."
