Each and every debate was remarkable and every team has done such an amazing job so far! As you can see, we’ve had some difficult and challenging topics to argue about. Overall the 2021 Debating season has been exciting to watch, with moments of drama, action and sometimes quite funny. It has been so much fun! Best of luck to all teams for their next MISA Rounds coming up in Term 3.
Until Next time!
