Debate No. 1 for Belmore South!
Hi everybody!
Today (29th May 2008), we had our first debate of the year for Belmore South. It was against Campsie, (not very far from us), and the topic was that Earth Hour is a waste of time. We were saying it WASN’T a waste of time, and guess what….. WE WON!!!!
Even though we were all above the time limit we still had very good arguments and we had very good rebuttals.
In this first debate it was: 1st speaker, me; 2nd speaker, Naomi; 3rd speaker, Ramiz; and team advisor, Celia. At Belmore South we usually have 2 extra people in the debating team but we haven’t found out who those two people are yet.
Hope we do as well as we did in this debate in our upcoming debates.
Hi Natnat!
Thanks for commenting, about the riddle, well done! I know, i’d still be scared of the lions!
Wow! Congratulations, i think the Debating Team deserves to win because their side is ight and good. Wish you best luck in future ones, be who you are and prove thm wrong!!
Well done Natalie and the rest of the team.
A very positive and encouraging start to your debating this year.
I think that the rebuttals are the most important part of the debate - it shows that you can think of opposing arguments quickly and put them into words as well

Hi,
I agree with you that earth hour is not a waste of time, It was on the news and stuff that the world saved heaps of power just in that one hour!
I think it should happen more often!
