Year 7 and 8 Debating

What is it?

The JSP is a fantastic introduction to debating.

It is a friendly interschool competition open to all students in years 7 and 8.

No experience is necessary! The DAV provides you with training, and a senior St Leonard’s debater will act as a mentor for your team.

There are three rounds of debates. There are no finals or rankings, so the focus is on learning new skills and trying your best.

Why do it?

Become a better public speaker.

Learn about, discuss and engage with

important social issues.

Improve your analytical, critical thinking,

organisational and argumentative skills.

Opens up lots of opportunities.

It’s actually fun!
