Junior Debating Club (S1 S3)

The Junior Debating Club (S1 – S3) runs weekly, organised by Mrs Macfarlane and Mrs Harvie.

If you like to argue, then come along and have your say!!

You can take part in balloon debates, public speaking competitions and instant debates. You can also participate in organised debates, or come along to spectate.

Debates take place between volunteer speakers, who prepare speeches and are ready to give and receive points of information.

We like to debate topical issues and are always looking for new ideas.

This year’s debates have included:
