Debating Skills Reach New Heights at Chiswick School
Two Chiswick debating teams took part in the Debate Mate Cup 2023 at Middlesex University this month. 24 teams from Year 7-10 took part with the two Chiswick Teams debating hard, often against teams older than them, with sophisticated arguments, thoughtful challenges with their points of information and fantastic teamwork.
They took part in three debates ranging from “This house believes that strikes are the most effective way to make change” to “This house believes that everyone should go to university.” Our Year 9 team placed a fantastic 5th, only one point away from 4th and our Year 7 team came 14th only being knocked out by the team who came 4th. It was a truly impressive effort from both teams.
Well done to:
Year 9s: Logan, Niamh, Josh and Jamie
Year 7s: Flo, Dylan, Hayden, Abdul, Matilda and Tatiana
