Posted on: 12th Jul 2024Debate CompetitionTwelve intrepid Year 12 pupils represented 麻豆直播 at the annual Bingham Debate Competition in South Hampstead High School on 11th July. They competed against schools across London and each of our teams won at least one round out of four challenging '15-minutes notice' debates. The motions included 'This House regrets the popularity of Mr Beast', 'This House believes academics and experts should not openly debate with conspiracy theorists', 'This House would abolish exams and replace them with coursework' and finally, 'This House believes that superheroes should reveal their identity to their loved ones.' Our debaters all learned how to define a motion, explain who is most affected and to develop arguments by delineating counterfactuals. They also learned how to frame their points in the context of formal debating practices. Our pupils used humour and flair to persuade the audience and they were a real credit to the school. They enjoyed meeting other young people from other teams and in particular, they loved the rooftop view of London at the end of the day from the seventh floor.
