Is your child a keen debater? Perth Modern School participates in the Western Australian Debating League's interschool debating competition. This is an optional co curricula activity. This competition is held outside of school hours -usually 6.30pm for Year 7 students on a Tuesday or Wednesday over five dates in Semester 1. Perth Modern School debating will hold an induction afternoon for students in Year 7 who are new to debating. The event will be held over two days:

Session 1: Saturday, 16 February from 1.00pm to 4.00pm. Introduction to debating, creation of teams

Session 2: Sunday, 17 February from 9.00am – 12.00pm. Speech writing and practice debate

Venue  - Perth Modern School

The induction will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about debating, form teams and conduct a practice debate. It will enable students to make an informed decision before the close of registrations for the 2019 WADL interschool competition. It is not essential for all team members to attend if they have other commitments.  Further information will be provided to students via Student Daily Notices.
