I-Say Debating Finals Series |
|
Put down your remote. Stop reading Jane Austen. Turn that Casette Player off because it's getting towards the nail-biting end of the Isay Debating Competition.
4 Rutherford teams have advanced through to the octo and quarter
finals. From now on there will no longer be a points system. It will be
knock-out.
The Junior Teams, Rutherford Vanquishers and Rutherford Organized
Chaos, are amongst the top 16 in Auckland who made it to the octofinals
in the junior division. They will be versing:
Rutherford Vanquishers vs. King's College Blue
Rutherford Organized Chaos vs. Glendowie Jnr.
The Senior Team, Rutherford Atoms, made the split into the top 16 in
the senior division where they will be up against Papatoetoe Snr B.
Lastly, the Advanced Team, Ernest Rutherford, has somehow made it into
the top 8 where they will be versing Top of the Table St. Kents Snr 3.
This is the same school that we lost to during the Russell McVeagh
Debating competition and so Ernest will very thirsty for revenge.
These debates will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening on
the 11th, 12th and 13th of June. Contact your English teachers for
details if you wish to come along and support Rutherford in this
prestigious battle of wits. All the best to all the Debating Teams.
