English Speaking Union Junior Debating Competition
Blairgowrie High School hosted the first round of a National Junior Debating Competition on Thursday 31 October in the school library. The motion was ‘This House believes that the Congestion Charge should be introduced in all Scottish Cities.’ Teams from Crieff, Dunblane, Forfar and Kinross took part, as well as two teams from Blairgowrie. After three hours of heated debate, four out of the eight teams competing went through to the next round with Blairgowrie B (Dulcie Robertson and Fraser Burnie) being one of the successful teams. Blairgowrie A (Issy Milford and Connor Ireland), although unsuccessful this time, also performed very well, with a last minute ‘point of information’ by Issy helping clinch the B team’s place in the next round. Very well done to everyone involved.
