Some might say the Greatest Debate yet, some might not. |
Every year we run this fantastic event called the Great Debate, recognised in industry as ''one of the best dynamic training tools they've heard about' and that's a direct quote.
The debate gets heated, meanwhile, Liv knits a tiny jumper. |
Annie (the tallest girl in the world) waits in anticipation. |
The First and second years are put into pairs in their respective year groups. They have a week to research five questions, each of which have a Yes or No response...or Skips or Quavers.
Sometimes a panoramic can distort an image, but that's actually what Phill looks like, we shouldn't laugh. |
It is judged by the third years and the students competing will not find out which question is in which round until just before the round begins.

Emma holds her chin, the international sign language for 'I don't believe you'. |
It's all about understanding not only your argument but also the perspective of your opponent. As well as this, being audience aware is vital - the third years do not suffer fools gladly.
After the rap battle, the final round begins on our wonderful terrace. |
A huge thank you to the third years taking time out of their busy schedule to help support this years debate and to all students who took part this year.
