SFCC held their first debate in the MISA Debating Competition against Thomas Hassall Anglican College on Tuesday 7th March. The debate topic was ‘That
high school students should be allowed to create their own curriculum.’ We were the affirmative team! A sensationally strong start by the delightful
Angelina T (first speaker) who was absolutely amazing; she articulated her speech with clarity and despite the technical difficulties that occurred she was still able to deliver in an engaging manner. Our second speaker, Nirvaan S was able to execute his arguments creatively and attack the opposing team’s case. Our 3rd Speaker, Ellie M completely destroyed the other school! She spoke for 5 1/2 minutes without looking at her palm cards! A compellingly delivery by Ellie! She referred to her personal life and used multiple high-modality words. Aleksander G as the fourth speaker, played an integral part in refuting the opposing team’s arguments; his silent input counteracted the opposing team’s strong thesis.

The Year 9 MISA Debating Team delivered their impenetrable arguments, were evidently passionate and represented our College victoriously. We are monumentally proud of SFCC! What an optimistic start to debating for the Year 9 MISA Debating Team!!

Reinforcing with our Team Line....

“Give students a voice by giving them the choice”.
