Year 8 Competition

For the first time in 2025, we will be offering Year 8 competition days. This program is aimed at students who have previously completed the introductory JSP program and are looking for further debating opportunities. The first program will run in Term 1 and we will look to add further dates in Term 4.

Note: A student can only participate in one of the two competitions or the Junior Secondary Program (JSP). Therefore, please pick one program that is most suitable.
