Earlier this term, the MLMC Debate Club was visited by Speaking Schools Australia for an all-day incursion. The incursion offered excellent insights to all students involved, including how to structure and deliver debate speeches, as well as how to think and speak on the spot. Students noted that they got something valuable out of it, and felt like their skills had been strengthened.
The following week, our teams competed in their final debate of the Debating Association of Victoria (DAV) season. Massive congratulations to the A Grade team and B Grade team for their successes. And congratulations to the entire Debate Club for an amazing season.
I would encourage anyone interested in debating to get involved — being good at public speaking is not a requirement and it is an amazing experience where you meet amazing people.
