Our S3 debaters went to Edinburgh on Thursday to participate in the Young Speaker’s Scotland St Andrew’s Day Debate. They debated motions on making elections compulsory, banning zoos, and whether overseas aid should go to individuals or governments. Our two speakers learned a lot and grew in confidence over the day, and our two judges made great contributions to their panels. Well done!
