Challenging Views at Debating Competition

Year 10 students Robert, Orla, Ismaeel and Hasnat argued strongly in their first two debates of the day where they were given the titles:

• Premiership footballers deserve all the rewards they get.
• Autonomous vehicles will make driving safer.

Having topped the overall leader board they went into the semi-finals with high hopes except they were arguing for the motion that 'voting should be made compulsory in the UK'.  They did a fantastic job trying to persuade the audience and judges with their reasoning but sadly missed out on reaching the final by just one mark.  A fantastic effort all round!
