HICES Debating Success

After a year away from debating due to the COVID pandemic restrictions, St Columba came roaring back in the first rounds of the recent HICES Debating tournament, winning seven of the eight debates across Stages 3 (Years 5 and 6), Stage 4 (Years 7 and 8), Stage 5 (Year 9 and 10) and Stage 6 (Year 11 and 12) against Clarence Valley Anglican School, Bishop Druitt College and Emmanuel Anglican College, with the following results:

Stage 3 – two from two
Stage 4 – one from two
Stage 5 – two from two
Stage 6 – two from two 

All of our students performed spectacularly, and our teams now progress to the next round.
