Concern Worldwide Debating Finalists 2023
Our congratulations to members of our 6th Class debating team who participated in last week’s Kildare Concern Debating Final. The children were fantastic in their delivery and were unfortunately narrowly defeated. The debating journey was an excellent opportunity for many of our senior pupils to develop new skills. We hope the children involved will continue to debate as they enter secondary school. It was a wonderful first debating experience for our school and we look forward to future participation. Well done to all pupils and staff involved.

School uniforms should be a thing of the past.
On Friday 16th September 2022, our 6th classes took part in a stream debate. The motion was School uniforms should be a thing of the past. Mr. Murray's class proposed the motion while Ms. Corbally's class opposed it. Ms. Coyle's class adjudicated on the arguments presented.
The two classes worked on their sides of the motion all week, with great ideas and arguments being brought together to form the final speeches. Mr. Murray's class was represented by Rían Breathnach as captain, Gemma Carthy, Siún O'Mahoney and Isis Dunlea. Ms. Corbally's class was represented by captain Emily Dunne, Molly O'Neill, Dylan Kavanagh and Mia Roche.
Both teams were excellent in their delivery and rebuttal but Mr. Murray's team were victorious in their arguments.
It was a wonderfully inspiring morning of teamwork and all the teachers are very proud of all involved. We look forward to our next debate next week.
