New Zealand Schools’ Debating

Rest Day yesterday…and today

Yesterday was a rest day at WSDC 2010. The teams, coaches and judges went on a “Desert Safari” in the Qatari desert outside of Doha. A convoy of 4WDs dropped us at a camp in the desert where there was food, drinks, dancing, volleyball, table-tennis, and a variety of other activities.

Today there are tours of Doha to places such as the famous Islamic Art Museuem.

Debating kicks off again tomorrow with founds 5 and 6. In Round 5, New Zealand is against United Arab Emirates, opposing “That doctors should report all evidence of marital abuse to the police”. In Round 6, New Zealand is proposing on an impromptu motion.

    Congratulations, NZ! After watching you prove you are the world’s best in both Washington D.C. and Athens, it is fantastic to see you continuing that trend in 2010. As the surviving member, Maria, we are particularly interested in watching your progress from Rarotonga, where we now live live. Go smoke ‘em, Kiwi!
