Debating
Debating is a dynamic co-curricular program that offers students the opportunity to develop public speaking and critical thinking skills, as a team.
Woolooware High School participates in two main interschool competitions: Sutherland Shire Debating Competition and the NSW Premier's Debating Challenge. The competitions are based around year groups, with students competing from Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. The interschool debates generally take place during school hours.
Debating meetings are generally held once a week on Thursday mornings from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. During these meetings students learn how to present and counter persuasive perspectives using structured, evidence-based arguments.
