On Saturday the 25th of March our S6 pupils, Daniel Cunningham and Richard Halligan, braved the snow and cold winter weather to take part in the semi finals of the ESU Mace Competition held at Fettes College in Edinburgh. They debated with great skill against the need to have trial by jury and received extremely positive feedback on their performance.

Although not successful in getting through to the final, we want to congratulate them for reaching such a high stage of a very tough competition, for their hard work and dedication and for continuously receiving high praises from both judges and audiences.

We hope that this will be the start of their successful debating career and that many others will follow in their footsteps!
