Yesterday afternoon we walked down to Moriah, with some trepidation, to debate them on their own ground.

Our Senior Year 10 team, yesterday represented ably by Elijah Grynberg, Rebekah Goldsworthy, Beau Glass and Isaac Grove argued the affirmative case: “That online manners are just as important as table manners”.

They proved too strong for the home team and triumphed convincingly over their opponents.

Our Middles team, represented brilliantly by Alix Cane, Eden Glass, Anna Davis and Jake Newfield also argued the affirmative case: “That school canteens should only sell vegetarian products”.

They were also triumphant.

This means that Emanuel has five teams remaining in the HICES Debating competition as we enter the Quarter Finals.

Many thanks to our coaches, alumnus Joshua Moses (Middles), Danielle Santos (Juniors)  and Ellie and Matt from Masters Academy (Seniors Years 9 and Yearr 10 and Opens).
