worlds student debates

[bookeditor]

Australia finished in the Qtr finals in Sth Korea this week, winning 7 out of 8 debates in the preliminary rounds before defeating Argentina in the octos and losing to Singapore.

What an achievement by our year 11 and 12 debaters, especially Kellyannmaree Butler who is in year 11, an extraordinary effort! I would not have coped with that level of debating at year 12.

She and James Wilson [the Vic representatives] might be MAD champions in the future...who knows?

In the final between Singapore [aff] and Scotland [neg] the topic was "that we should abolish the nuclear non-proliferation treaty" .

Scotland won and became the new world student debating champions.
