Debating round at Dominic

On Wednesday evening 24 May Dominic College hosted the Tasmanian Debating competition roster, facilitated by the Tasmanian Debating Union. Students from across 15 High Schools and Colleges participated. The sheer number of participants created a very studious atmosphere in the preparation sessions and then a great contest in the actual debates.

The topic for Year 7 students was ‘Hollywood should be historically accurate,’ while Year 9 students debated topics from the subject areas of ‘Arts & Entertainment, Children and the Media.’

Dominic‘s Year 7 Team were successful against Taroona High and Year 9 Team 2 were successful against Ogilvie High Team 2. Congratulations to all our debating students, their families, Mr Ben Fulton and staff for coordinating this massive event. Thank you also to our excellent Year 10 leaders who acted as concierges and directors for the visiting schools.
