Debating

This year the Juniors are going to enter the Concern debating competition, organised by Ms O’Neill and meeting on Thursdays at lunch time.

Senior debaters meet on alternate Mondays at lunch time in the Library. This year teams have entered the Mace competition, Concern debates and the Leinster School Debating Competition run by UCD and Trinity Colleges. Please contact Ms McFadden or Ms Cullen for more details. We also hope to send students to the European Youth Parliament. 

The skills learned in debating are of tremendous help in many areas of life.  Each person has to read a prepared 4 minute speech either proposing or opposing the motion and be ready for Points of Information from the opposing sides.
