What is a debate? A debate is where two teams receive a given a topic and have to prepare a 3-4 minute speech with 2 or 3 arguments per person. There are 4 roles in a team. Speaker roles: 1st speaker- states the 2 or 3 high priority arguments. 2nd speaker- states the other arguments the team has come up with. 3rd speaker- uses rebuttal to try and rebut the other teams statements, basically try and overrule and give a lot of reasons why what the information they have provided is completely inaccurate. Team advisor- Helps the team with arguments and parts of the debate. Premiers Debating Challenge
This term, 8 students in stage 3, Bella Violet, Auob, Brae, Mia, Remy, Jackson and Reyann participated in 5 rounds of the Premier's Debating Challenge, versing schools around the Wollongong region. Coniston Gold conquered the victorious win over Keiraville Public, however sadly, Coniston Green was not successful in winning the debate and making it to Round 5. Both teams gave a great debate and tried really hard. In round 5, unfortunately Keiraville beat Coniston Gold, however everybody was still proud of how far they made it into the challenge. It was a great opportunity for all involved to learn skills and cooperate together to make a great debate.
