Debating News

On Friday the 17th of June the two Avoca Beach debating teams, the Avoca Beach ‘Activists' (Isabella, Emma , Ikey and myself) and the Avoca Beach ‘Eliminators' (Lachlan, Boudica, Olivia and Adam), participated in a day of debating! In the first round, the Activists and the Eliminators debated against each other. The topic was "that students should have one day a week to study a subject of their choice." The Activists argued for the negative while the Eliminators debating the affirmative side. However, the win went to the Activists and then they went onto their next round debate against the Copacabana ‘Copa Kids'. The topic was "that advertisements should be banned on children's channels". The Avoca Activists were the affirmative but the negative won the debate. Congratulations Copa!  Afterwards, the Eliminators debated against Killarney Vale on the topic that "children should only be allowed to watch T.V on weekends". Arguing the negative side, the Avoca Eliminators won the debate! We would like to thank the adjudicator, the other teams and the audience of 3/4H. Thank you to my fellow debaters and thank you to Ms Fyffe our coach, who trained and perfected our debating skills and gave up her time to confirm that we could be the best that we could be!
