Local schools go head to head
Ettalong Public School and Empire Bay Public School went head-to-head in the first round of the Premiers' Debating Challenge at Ettalong Public School on Friday, May 24.
"This was an impromptu debate where the team was only given the topic an hour and a half before and is required to prepare in that time," said Ettalong Public School principal Mr Colin Wallis.
"Our team gave intelligent arguments and thoughtful rebuttal to perform admirably against the Empire Bay team, narrowly going down in a close competition.
Empire Bay Public School principal Mr Brad Lewis said the Empire Bay team argued the negative position and did so "with great skill".
