HICES Senior Debating

On 2 August, the Senior Debating Team undertook the long trip to St Paul’s Grammar School for the elimination finals of the HICES debating competition. It was a fascinating debate with the topic ‘That all Australian people should learn their local indigenous language’. As the negative team, we proposed a counter model which supported more indigenous cultural education for Australian students. With an all Szenes team: Beau Glass first speaker, Rebekah Goldsworthy second speaker and Isabella Flax third speaker, with Isabella Reichel as team advisor, we emerged victorious, advancing to the quarter finals of the competition. We look forward to the next round of debating. Thanks to our coach Danielle Santos and Mrs Plume for supporting us.
