Hmm, not strictly schools debating, but I think that broadening the scope of this forum wouldn't hurt. Full list of speakers can be accessed here which provides a video of the announcements. http://m.ustream.tv/recorded/53323683 The win by OG was in a 5-2 split, and as I understand it, a bit...

Any info on who the Archdale seconds are?

Update - CAS firsts and seconds both lost to CHS and are yet to win a debate this reps season. CHS teams won their debates against CAS, and won one against Archdale. Also team confirmation for CHS Firsts - Yanek(fort st), Theodora von Arnim and Marcus McCulloch Seconds - Riley Irwin, Eleanor...

Hmm interesting, any idea why they have opted for three teams? Just to clarify, as I understand it the Reps Comp only runs with debates between firsts and seconds? My predictions for Archdale Firsts - Sophie Large, Imogen Harper and Kaity Crowe Seconds - Kendall Sheppard, Anne Wang, and...

Reps Team Update CAS teams have been selected and many predictions have proved accurate - good work tipsters! Firsts - Robbie, Damien, Liam Seconds - Kevin Kim, Laura, Lorenzo Congratulations, looking forward to more updates as the rest of the teams become known.

Unfortunate for Newington although not unexpected. Did anyone attend? In Archdale news a bit of an unexpected upset! SCEGGS was defeated by Ascham, pushing Ascham to the top of the leaderboard. This is an interesting result, however I am sure it will not unduly affect the final result, and...

Hi Wolfey - The GPS competition only begins this Friday. Do you have any info on the progression of the CAS comp? Please see my earlier comment for my thoughts on contenders in the Reps Season. :)

Hm very interesting AllYellow! I agree that that is probably how the teams will play out roughly, cant imagine too many other surprises. In terms of the overall outcome of the reps season your suggestion that the girls might dominate is intriguing, and I dont think it is totally unfounded. I...

Also based of the collective knowledge off this forum and the format provided by aka_the_think, I put together a list of the twelve squad members and the schools/comps (the comps that are relevant for the Reps Season). I think this will give a good indication of the potential reps team make up...

Congratulations to St. Aloys and Riverview, good to see NSW dominance in the national debating circuit. I would imagine that most schools will have entered senior teams for the USYD debating day, however I do not believe that the tournament is run to produce a winner, meaning that there might...

Hey fellow debaters, The second week of the holidays has really let the idleness set in for me, and as I was browsing the web I came across this debating competition - http://www.aidpsc.com/. Not sure if this is the most appropriate forum, because it doesnt seem like conventional debating, but...

Hey Paul, For your information the first round of GPS debating starts on the 25th of July. As you seem to be interested in the Sydney Grammar team I would higly recommend attending their first debate which is against Newington - looks set to be a cracker! If you do end up going please update...

Hey Aka_the_think, The Premiers Debating Championship is the public school competition which runs during Term 2 and 3. There is more info on the arts unit website but the last I checked High had made it to the regional final stage of the competition. Apologies, I effectively meant CHS when I...

If you are interested in High then I wouldn't get your hopes up. They are known to produce a couple great speakers every now and again, but most of their talent was lost with their last graduating class. Their current senior team had fared alright so far in the PDC competition, however that is...

Hmm, interesting aka_the_think. I believe James the Second (Pacino) was also on the state squad? Surely he would then be a contender, however I have not personally seen him debate, so I couldn't say for sure. And with regard to CHS, they apparently only allow year 11 and 12 debaters on the team...

Hi All As a keen Yr11 debater from a Sydney school (although for privacy reasons I have chose to post under a pseudonym) this is a highly informative and interesting forum for me, and this level of analysis of the current state of major competitions and teams is a great addition to the debating...
