Grand Finals - here we come!

On Wednesday evening, nine debating teams from our neighbouring schools braved the weather to compete in the final round of debates for the 2021 Coomera Alliance Debating Competition.  Each team was competing for a place in the grand final which is set to take place next week. Our Year 4 teams were debating the topic that brothers are better than sisters while our Year 5 teams challenged the idea that honesty is the best policy.  We also had two Year 6 teams arguing that ‘Reality TV is harmful to society’.  This was the Team B’s 2nd debate in the competition and the improvement was evident.  Our debaters have really shown a lot of growth in not only their public speaking skills but also their ability to think on the spot and rebut the oppositions arguments.

Keeping with tradition, Coomera Rivers students and their coaches have once again excelled in this competition with all three year levels making it to the grand final.  Both our Year 4 and 5 team remain undefeated which is amazing.  We wish all our teams the best of luck next week as they take on the following topics:

Year 4

Topic: A teacher’s job is the most important job in the world

Coomera Rivers vs Coomera State

Year 5
