Cloghroe Debating Team
We entered a debating competition sponsored by Concern and run by the Cork Education Support Centre. The motion we were assigned was
'Children should be allowed a TV in their bedroom'
We were proposing the motion!!
The children researched the topic so well and debated the motion in their classes first with the help of their teachers. We then refined our arguments and practised our delivery.
On February 28th we visited St. Catherine's National School to compete against them. It was a very close and well contested debate and we were neck and neck! The adjudicators reinforced this in their commentary afterwards and the motion was defeated.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and we are looking forward to the next one!
