Attended Olivia's first attempt at debating yesterday. The topic was "Australia should accept more refugees" which was quite a mature topic for grade 6'ers to tackle. The standard of the debate was very high with all speakers confident and well prepared. As an adult I fould myself rolling my eyes at some of their arguments but their coaches don't shape their arguments, only their technique.
Unfortunately, Olivia's side lost by a point, 233 to 234.
Next up they have an "secret topic" with only 30minutes to prepare on the night. Should be interesting.
