After the challenging knock out Quarter Final Debating round, I have the privilege of letting the QAHS community know that each of our four Year 11 Open A teams and our Year 11 Open B team, have qualified for the Semi-Finals, which will take place on Wednesday 3 August. Consequently, the Open A Debating Semi-Final will be an all QAHS event – an unprecedented, outstanding achievement from our Open A Debaters, collectively!
Although Gold Coast Debating has not yet published the official Semi-Final Draw and Venue on their website, if you would like to attend a particular team's Semi-Final Debate you can keep an eye out for where each debate will take place, HERE.
Congratulations to the following Year 11 Debating teams:
Open A Team 1:
Regina Hoare, Katya Gratchev, Kartik Nayak, Samuel Brown
Open A Team 2:
Jessica Ashe, Anenya Kale, Mathilda Bester, Nitika Bethi
Open A Team 3:

Open A Team 4:

We wish our Year 11 Debaters all the very best for the Semi-Finals as they strive to reach the Debating Competition Final and look forward to hearing of their future success.
