Avoca Beach Public Debating Team

In February fourteen students tried out for the Avoca Beach Debating Team. Each student spoke spontaneously for one minute on the topic of 'Which makes the best pet, a dog or a cat'. Choosing only six for the team was extremely difficult as the talks were of a very high standard. Congratulations to these students who where selected in the team. Monique Kensell, Maya Koizumi-Smith, Charlotte Hayman, Zoe Kensell, Lauren Tobin and Jordan Butler.

On Tuesday 13 March, members of the team have the opportunity to attend Gosford Public School for a debating workshop. The workshop covers all aspects of debating, including definition, rebuttal, speakers' roles and arguments. I'm sure the students will benefit greatly from this event.

Thank you to all the students who tried out for the team, and good luck to those selected.
