Debaters Persuade Their Way Through The Premier's Debating Challenge

A persuasive bunch

Congratulations to our BPS debaters who faced Gerringong Public School on Friday in the first round of the Premier's Debating Challenge. Both teams were successful in winning their debates and progressing to the next round.

"There was incredible logic and sophistication in the arguments they put forward." noted one of the teachers. 

We are enormously proud of how they applied their persuasive skill, but also of how our students exemplified the Berry Way with sportsmanship and as generous hosts.

The school debating program is part of our suite of initiatives for High Potential and Gifted students. It is supported by team members having training sessions every Friday and a few full day sessions throughout the year focused on extensive skill development.

We're excited to apply adjudicator feedback and hone our skills for our next debate against Shoalhaven Heads in a few weeks.
