Emmaus Teams Crowned Debating SA Champions!

🎉 Two Emmaus Teams Crowned Debating SA Champions! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that our Year 8 White Team and Year 6 Quokkas Team have both won their Grand Final in the Debating SA Championships, held at the House of Assembly, Parliament House on Saturday.

👏 Year 8 White Team (Mia, Cara, Diana & Liya, coached by Megan and Mr Rodda)
Debated affirmatively on the topic: “Australia should implement an opt-out system for organ donation.”

👏 Year 6 Quokkas Team (Zoe, Charis, Adesina, Grace & Tanisha, coached by Caroline Wicks and Mr Lee)
Debated affirmatively on the topic: “Dreamworld should be allowed to expand.”

Both teams impressed the adjudicators with their compelling arguments, confident presentation, and clear structure—securing well-deserved victories! 🏆

Over the season, each team competed in five preliminary rounds, advancing through semi-finals before taking out the Grand Final title.

🌟 We are so proud of all 14 of our Emmaus debating teams and every student who has committed themselves to the competition since Term 2.

🙏 A huge thank you to our dedicated coaches, supportive parents, and our passionate Extended Learning team—especially Mr Rodda and Mr Chu—for making this opportunity possible.
