In Term two selections were held to create two Year 8 Debating teams. Team one included Rachael Miller, Louisa Kotkamp, Bonnie Miller and Georgie Crowley. The other team consisted of Sophie Ansley, Molly Haisman, Maddie Cockburn and Kate Perkins. The moot for the first debate was ‘School Uniforms are good for us’. Unfortunately Sophie's team was knocked out of the first round after losing to Northern Southland College. Rachael's team won their first round against Blue Mountain so they were through to the next round. The next moot was ‘Plastic is the last straw’ in which luckily they were the affirmative team. It was a tight round but fortunately they came out ahead of Fiordland College. The final round was against Blue Mountain and the moot ‘Monopoly mirrors life’. They were thrilled to win the competition and their main highlight was winning this for the first time since the competition began running in 1991.
