Melton Secondary College

Free Debate trainer Anthony Kung conducted 4 sessions of debating training for 16 Year 10 students at Melton Secondary College.

The students who participated were reserved at first but seemed to revel in the opportunity to express and discuss opinions. The practice debate about the ethics of animal testing showcased a range of views and honed their ability to refine an argument, while the forum about bushfire policy highlighted their improved knowledge of current affairs and government policies.

The improvements in engagement and confidence were obvious!

Free Debate thanks Margaret Canaway at Melton SC for the opportunity to work with the students.
