On Wednesday 19th January eight of our intrepid debaters took part in the West London regional round of the Oxford University debating competition. All teams debated very well, and grappled with motions such as, ‘This house prefers to create new roles for under-represented actors rather than reimagining existing roles.’ This house would ban the use of images of suffering in charitable adverts,’ and ‘This house would support the use of aerial drones in warfare.’ The debate took place over 5 hours culminating in two rounds of intense debate. One of our teams has made it through to the final which will take place at Oxford University. Well done to Ava, Jess, Marlena, Leyya, Tilly, Marie, Keya and Natalie
