25 May 2012
On Friday, 25 May 2012 the Bennett Road debating team had their second debate in the school library as part of the R.A. Pickles Shield Debating Competition.
The topic up for debate was 'It is better to live in the city than the country'. Bennett Road took the affirmative side (agreeing with the topic) while James Erksine took the negative side (disagreeing with the topic).
Both teams had great arguments, rebuttled well and used evidence to support their arguments.
But in the end Bennett Road was successful in convincing the adjudicator that 'It was better to live in the city than the country'.
A huge congratulations to the debating team, chairperson and timekeeper on their efforts.
The next debate will be against Clairgate Public School with the topic 'That TV is better than books'. Bennett Road will be arguing the negative side and Clairgate will be arguing the affirmative side.
We wish our debating team all the best of luck in their future debates.
