New Zealand win Round Two

This afternoon Nick, Maria and Jasmin beat Estonia by 3-0, opposing the motion “This House supports compulsory physical education in schools”.

New Zealand is therefore on two wins and six from six judges.

Tomorrow morning Josh, Aria and Jasmin take on Romania, proposing “That all nations have a right to nuclear weapons”. In the afternoon the team is against the United States on an impromptu motion.

    Well done team! We would love to know what the emphasis of your arguments were as schools, teachers and health professionals would likely have their own views. Compulsory was likely a key word and your strategies compelling!
    Best wishes for the remainder of the competition.
