    NSW Schools Debating 2015

    It's tempting to disregard and not to respond to banality but silence can be seen as acquiescence, which compels a response. So, SW, wrong again, as was PJ. I would point out that this forum has a wider range and audience than school boys and that there are a range of opinions on the site, which...

    NSW Schools Debating 2015

    Selectors will base their decision on observation of speakers in what they have seen and adjudicated in the ISDA and Archdalel/GPS/ CAS/ CHS competitions; not on 'reputation' of being in any "state" squad. Re CAS -see note above in which 5 year 11s from last year were in CAS teams, now in year...

    The 2014 CAS representative teams included a few speakers from year 11, now in year 12 2015, who potentially be selected again, perhaps with higher representation from Barker than in 2014 based on its win in CAS 2015: Year 11 CAS reps 2014 Liam Thorne (Aloys, CAS 1sts) Alex Connolly (Trinity...

    NSW Schools Debating 2015

    Of course it was being suggested that the 'state' ( note inverted commas) trail process was imperfect but It was never suggested that the selectors were biased. Its difficult to see how that conclusion could be drawn unless the post was read with preconceived prejudice. Again I will reiterate...

    I don't need to pretend "like you don't have an axe to grind" because I don't have an axe to grind. Period. My observations and opinion are not as a failed speaker merely an observer. But I do have an opinion based on observations over time and expressed my opinion based on those observations...

    Lol mate, can't take a single word of that seriously, all pretty much rubbish.................. No one will take that opinion seriously, especially given the sexist jibe at the end. You have clearly read into this what you wanted to read into it, aka-the-think. No axes to grind, nor "vendetta"...

    NSW Schools Debating 2015

    We have the results for the two GPS rounds and Archdale. . Does anyone have the results for all the CAS comps so far? As for reps imo agree with A192 that state speakers weren't as strong compared to others during the course of ISDA. Eg Grammar (2 state speakers) vs Cranbrook (stronger...
