28th November 2017

St Columba’s debating success continues as we are delighted to announce that Hannah McLoughlin and Rachael Curry (SVI), pictured below, have been selected as two out of five representatives for Team Scotland. Both girls will represent Scotland in the World Schools’ Debating Championships in Croatia next year. A fantastic achievement, well done to them both!

 

On the 25th November our debaters ventured to Edinburgh for an Open Debating Competition. We would like to congratulate all our pupils who took part: Cara Bruce, Charlotte Westwood, Grace McLoughlin (SIII) and Anna Thomson (SI).  Cara and Anna were the top team in the tab, with Grace and Charlotte a close second. Unfortunately they didn’t win in the final, however Anna was the best individual speaker on the day (an amazing achievement considering this was Anna’s first competition) and Cara was second top of the individual speaker tab. We look forward to hearing about continued debating success.
