The confidence to speak before an audience and to persuade others about a point of view are valuable life skills that can be nurtured in all students. These skills are explicitly taught across the curriculum and opportunities to practice these skills are embedded in our learning programs.
The College participates in the Debating Association of Victoria Schools Competition, with opportunities for participation in a range of other public speaking competitions.
Debating teaches students how to be effective speakers, using language in a fluent and clear manner. Debating competitions can help boost confidence, develop critical thinking skills; develop effective tools for research, presentation, and speech delivery skills.
