Debate: ‘Climate Change is not my Problem’
On Friday 13th of December our Sixth Class debating team, supporterers and Ms. Nagle and Mrs. Milner travelled to Knockskeagh NS to debate the motion ‘Climate Change is not my Problem’. Knockskeagh proposed the motion while our team were opposing the motion. Both teams were well prepared and once again it was a tight competition. Ballinacarriga NS won the debate and are now through to the semi-finals. We hope their winning streak will continue.
Debate: ‘Homework is a Waste of Time’
