Nicholas J. Scullion & Co School's Debating Cup - in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council 'Determined to Succeed' programme - will be presented to Calderside Academy on March 4th. We are honoured to be presenting Shannon and Lewis with the Cup and we welcome more pupils to enter the competition next year (we need teams of two from each school - maximum of 10 schools can enter). If you are interested or would like more information please email Diana Scullion, details below.
We look forward to taking all of the 2010 Cup participants on a tour of Tunnock's, many of them are now firm friends and started up their own 'after-school' debating clubs. Debating is an exciting sport. We will guide you through the whole process and take you to Hamilton Sheriff Court. Here you will witness first hand a live debate. From here - your teacher will help you through the research process in preparation for each debate. You will never stuck!! Topics will be interesting / enjoyable to research / topical example: Are footballers paid too much? Are Zoos, immoral? Let us know if you can offer any ideas for the debates.
Members of Glasgow University Debating Union will provide hints and tips to first time debaters and give constructive feedback to pupils after each round. Even if you do not WIN - you should learn some invaluable life skills. It is great fun and as you will see on our FACEBOOK PAGE NICHOLAS J. SCULLION & CO. Lewis and Shannon from Calderside have commented how enjoyable the whole experience was. Come on Lanarkshire - Get involved!! Thank you.
