Our two senior debating teams travelled to The Wykeham Collegiate last week to compete in Round 2 of the Pietermaritzburg Debating League. The motion tackled ethical dilemmas around Fentanyl overdoses and whether life-saving medicines such as Naloxone should be available to be administered by untrained individuals.

Michaelhouse 1: Seth Segal(B Block, Mackenzie), Lucien Baldry (B Block, West) and Daniel Kaabwe (A Block, Ralfe) went up against College 2, proposing the motion and lost. Michaelhouse 2: Daniel French (C Block, Pascoe), Nathan Strachan (B Block, West) and Damian Watson (B Block, Mackenzie) took on Voortrekker and won what was a very heated debate. Daniel French was awarded best speaker. Thanks to their chairs and time-keepers and those who came to support. Well done to all involved! We wish the boys debating on Thursday this week the best of luck, especially our E Block boys who take part in their first ever debate.
