Public feedback is now open on applicants who have applied to adjudicate the National Finals and coach the New Zealand Schools’ Debating team.
The community feedback process is not concerned with a candidate’s skill but rather their conduct. In particular, the New Zealand Schools’ Debating Council are interested in any feedback members of the community may have with regard to the candidate’s past performance as a coach or judge of school students, or any other relevant concerns regarding their behaviour around children.
The applicants to adjudicate the National Finals are as follows:
Liam Silverwood
Sam O’Grady
Siobhan Davies
Julia Randerson
Will Miller
Sumner Hancock
Andrey Borro
Colby Allen
Joe Garry
Georgia Barclay
Jaiden Tucker
The applicants to coach the New Zealand Schools’ Debating team are as follows:
Harper Smith
Melissa Connolly
Please email any relevant feedback to president@debating.org.nz by 6pm on Tuesday 20 May. It will be consider by all non-conflicted members of Council.
Please note that this is not an opportunity to provide general feedback about the applicants, as might be the case in respect of applications to be on a University adjudication core.
