2023 Canterbury Debating Captain’s Message: Congratulations To Our Secondary Debating Teams
Our Queensland Debating Union (QDU) Year 8, Year 10 and Year 12 Debating Teams have enjoyed an incredible year in 2023, so I would like to congratulate them all for their outstanding success this season!
I am absolutely thrilled and proud of the remarkable achievements of our talented debaters, who have showcased their exceptional skills, dedication and passion for debating throughout the season.
Representing Canterbury, these debaters have set an exceptional standard for debating excellence, demonstrating remarkable growth and resilience.
It is evident that their hard work has truly paid off, as all these teams qualified for the QDU Finals.
Hopefully our Year 8s and Year 10s advance one step further next year and reach the Grand Final.
As a school, we take immense pride in these achievements.
To my Year 12 team, who have completed their final debate this year, I am confident that as you graduate and embark on new adventures, you will carry with you the skills and values cultivated through debating, making a positive impact wherever you go.
It has been an honour working with you all across the last six years, and I thank each and every one of you for creating a successful and memorable debating experience.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Debating coaches who invested their time and effort mentoring these teams.
Their support and encouragement have played a vital role in this success.
Once again, congratulations to all the members of our Year 8, Year 10 and Year 12 Teams for their exceptional performances this season.
I have enjoyed getting to know you all and your success is well-deserved.
I wish you all the best for the amazing achievements that will be accomplished in the Debating season next year.
Regardless of the outcome in the finals, your accomplishments have made us proud.
Best of luck to our Year 11 team in their forthcoming finals debate this week!
Kind regards,
Marwa Kamali
