  • Talking the Leg Off a Chair

    26 June, 2009

    On Monday 22nd June, Kinross Wolaroi School hosted the HICES Regional Day of Debating. Involving Macquarie Anglican Grammar School in Dubbo, Blue Mountains Grammar School in Wentworth Falls and The Scots School in Bathurst we had a wonderful day of top quality debates.

    The Kinross Wolaroi Opens team consisting of Will Moisis, Frank Gosper, Michelle Jayasuriya and Stuart Bryan (pictured), were successful in all three of their debates. This team will then go on to compete at the Inter-Regional finals being held in Sydney some time in Term 3. These students debated with aplomb and were able to convincingly argue their points with effective matter, manner and method.

    Our Year 9 team of Nicola Ball, Jack Brand, Alastair Crane and Maddie Lamers were also successful in winning two of their three debates. Well done to these students who also had some challenging topics on the day! Our Year 8 team of India Dixon, Michael Gattone, Matthew Johnston and Hannah Jaques were able to have some fun whilst developing their debating skills.

    Head of English, Mr Scott would like to thank all students who debated and participated. We look forward to even more students participating in debating in 2010.
