GPS Debating Round 2 - SHS vs TKS
All three of our senior teams were undefeated this week against Kings on the topic That the Australian government should limit Medicare-funded access to in-vitro fertilisation.
The Firsts and Thirds negated the topic, with the Seconds affirming and winning on a split decision (the firsts and seconds are adjudicated by a panel of three people).
We had a Fourths team debate against a Sydney Girls team who came over to gain more practical experience. Thanks to the team and to Julia Bowes for adjudicating them.
The 10B, 9A, 8A and 8B teams won their debates That women's sport should be given equal recognition.
Unfortunately the 10As' eight-debate winning streak came to an end this week and the 9As had only a narrow win.
Interestingly, the 7Bs won the negative of That single sex school are better for boys.
The results table can be found at:

This week we face Newington on their home turf.
Senior Debates commence at 20:00, and I warmly invite and encourage boys to attend these debates.
