Term 3 Debate 2 Thursday 6 October
This is the last debate before a final if it is either necessary or desirable.
To enable every team to debate HGHS will provide a scratch team, if required. It is essential, therefore, that you let me know ASAP if your team is not debating, in order to replace the scratch team with your opposition.
Please prepare your teams thoroughly so that debaters use their full time when speaking, in order to make the exercise a worthwhile one.
