CAS debating season finishes strong

Three young men in blue Waverley College blazers sit at desks, smiling at the camera. Behind them are trophies in a display case, framed photos on the wall, and a portrait painting, all in a school setting.

From Cassandra Foster, Convenor of Debating

On Thursday last week, Waverley travelled to St Aloysius for Round 5 of the CAS competition.

2018 has been an excellent year for debating. Each year, the debating students continue to improve. Particular mention to Year 8 who reached the semi-finals of the CSDA competition. Congratulations to the Year 12 team who debated in their final debate of their high school lives. Specifically, the College is proud to announce that Anthony Roydhouse in Year 12 has been selected to compete in the CAS representative debating.

All students are encouraged to consider debating for the 2019 winter season. Debating has huge benefits both in students’ academic success as well as confidence in public speaking and knowledge of topical issues.
