Senior Debating Final: Otago Secondary Schools

By Maggie McGarry | Posted: Wednesday September 11, 2024

The senior debating finals were hosted by Columba College this week, and we are extremely proud of how well our Trinity Catholic College Team performed.

Joseph Kelly, Akein Wickramagedara and Chē McGivern put up a good fight against Columba College on Wednesday at the Secondary Schools' Debating Finals. There was a panel of five adjudicating and they missed out by a four/one split. They had to negate the motion that:

'This house would mandate one hour of well-being classes in school a week'. 

Trinity Catholic College is immensely proud of the student's success and it has been an honour watching them go from strength to strength over the past two years. They are a young team, so being in the finals is amazing, and they also have two more years in this competition to excel.

Being runners-up is not the only acknowledgement they received.

Akein Wickramagedara won a Most Promising Speaker award and Chē McGivern won the 2nd Top 10 Speaker award.

Ka pai team Trinity!
