WARWICK UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS’ DEBATE
How did they feel about the day? At the end of her first debating competition Mia said, “I really enjoyed the day and it showed me the competition for university places”.
After her first competition this was Ngum Agnes’ response: “I thought the day was great. It was nice to have a mix of experienced and non-experienced debaters and to learn from others”.
For Menglin, “It was definitely a valuable experience as my first debate. I learned many helpful skills competing against experienced debaters”.

Ellie: “It was a great learning experience and I have definitely gained valuable skills”.
