Debating
Prep School Debating at Westminster is open to students in Years 4 to 6 who are keen to build confidence in speaking, share ideas clearly and enjoy working as part of a supportive team. The program encourages thoughtful conversation and respectful listening while helping students grow their skills over time.
The beginner's program is offered to Year 4 students and Year 5 students who are new to debating. Sessions take place in the Haslam Library on Thursdays from 3.45pm to 5.00pm during Term 2, beginning in Week 2.
The continuers program is designed for Year 5 students who have previously debated and all Year 6 students. These sessions are also held in the Haslam Library on Thursdays from 3.45pm to 5.00pm during Term 3, beginning in Week 2.
Both programs aim to create a positive and engaging environment where students feel encouraged to participate, learn and grow as confident communicators.
