Double Debate at Putney High School

On Thursday 10th March the Debate Club visited Putney High School for a friendly double debate. First motion - ‘This House regrets the advent of 24-hour television and video-streaming’. Second motion - ‘This House would make criminals serve their sentences in the army, rather than in prison’. In both cases, the motion was announced by the Speaker, then competing pairs had 15 minutes preparation time (with no access to outside sources to help develop their ideas). In the first debate, Saint Cecilia's students formed two pairs to take on two Putney High School pairs; in the second debate, each pair was comprised of one student from each school.

Participating students: Amanda, Charlotte, Dejuan, Dominic, Eva, Hannah, Isaac and Max.
