This week’s Debating Club tackled the tricky motion of  ‘This house believes veganism should be compulsory’.

Maia and Sofia had the mammoth task of proposing the motion while Emily Parker and Lily Akhavan were opposing. There was some fierce rebuttal from all members of the club with the debate becoming rather heated at points. As always, the girls maintained their composure, but in the end the club voted in favour of the opposers. Next week debates the motion, ‘This house believes cats are better than dogs’.

Now that we are over halfway through the academic year, it is clear to see the tremendous progress made from every single member of the club. The girls’ confidence and skills in public speaking have come on leaps and bounds.
