CA: James Boland
DCAs: Levi Pruden, Sophie Land, and Jamie Pett
Thank you to all of those who applied. We are looking forward to an exceptional tournament.
Applications to be an adjudicator at the National Finals are now open
The New Zealand Schools' Debating Council has now opened applications for adjudicators for NZSBP 2026. NZSBP will be held from Saturday 28 November - Sunday 29 November, over Zoom.
The New Zealand Schools’ Debating Council are looking to appoint adjudicators who:
- are experienced at judging schools’ debates;
- can deliver articulate oral adjudications; and
- command respect as an adjudicator.
Applications are open until Monday 16 November 2026 at 6pm, and can be made here: https://forms.gle/LW2KCTJGWMgAjr6C8
Applications to adjudicate will be considered by the adjudication core and council. In accordance with NZSDC policy, there will be a feedback process for judging applicants. The feedback process will be used as a mechanism for individuals to express concerns about the suitability of an applicant to adjudicate students at NZSBP and is not a general feedback process that you may see at the university level. Feedback will open from Tuesday 17 November, until Friday 20 November.
