Registrations are open for Auckland Schools Debating (ASD) for 2019. In 2018 ASD provided secondary schools debating for over 1,500 students from 54 schools.
Auckland Schools Debating is a fortnightly competition that takes place during terms 1 and 2 each year. Students in teams of 3 compete in a debate that lasts between 1 and 1½ hours.
Debating teaches students to be confident public speakers, to express ideas and arguments succinctly and persuasively, to work as a team and to be aware of issues in the world around them.
