Debating

Debating

Learn to become an inspiring speaker

Peninsula Grammar enters student teams annually in the Debaters’ Association of Victoria competition with great success.

Philosophy


We have development squads in the Middle School where Senior School mentors help our younger students. The mentors are a valuable support to the regular classroom debating activities at Years 7 and 8, strengthening links between students and providing valuable leadership opportunities.

Debating is used as a form of oral communication in the senior English curriculum. Inter-class and inter-House debates provide further opportunities for students to learn the skills of public speaking.

Our school also enters students in other forms of public speaking competitions, such as mooting and plain speaking.
