Sydney Russell are off to another fantastic start in this year’s Debate Mate Urban Debate League Competition. Sydney Russell fielded 4 teams, including one `novice’ team composed of our newest Year 7 recruits. Out of our 8 debates, we won a fantastic 6, with Team A and B winning both of theirs.

The results for Round 1 have been announced and Sydney Russell is in 1st PLACE NATIONALLY – the highest we have ever been going into Round 2 of the competition.

Sydney Russell will be hosting Round 2 of the competition on Wednesday 28th February where over 120 students from schools across the borough will be attending. The motion for the first of the two debates of Round 2 has been released: “This house regrets the demise of the high street.” Albeit it a challenging motion we are confident our students will rise to the occasion.
