The season has been an exciting and extremely successful one with all ten teams fighting hard each week and, best of all, improving their communication and teamwork skills immensely. Win or lose the debate, all debaters are winners in the bigger context of being feisty, empowered and confident young women. The three Quarter Finalist teams met their opposition with vigour at Holy Spirit College Lakemba last Friday. Congratulations to Abbey, Charley and Molly (Year 7), Stella, Tahlia and Olivia (Year 8) and Amadee, Siana and Angelina (Year 9). You made it to the top eight teams in your year divisions of 100 teams. Good job! Best wishes to the Year 8 and 9 debaters who will now be representing the College in the CSDA Semi Finals on 27 July at a venue to be announced. Congratulations and good luck girls. We are all very proud of you.
