Feedback on applicants to coach regional teams now open

Public feedback is now open on the applicants who have applied to coach or assistant coach regional teams in 2024.

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, or any other relevant concerns regarding their behaviour around children.

The applicants to coach or assistant coach regional teams are as follows (in no particular order):

Upper North Island

  • [Names removed at the end of the feedback period]

Lower North Island

  • [Names removed at the end of the feedback period]

South Island

  • [Names removed at the end of the feedback period]

Please email any relevant feedback to president@debating.org.nz by 6pm on Thursday 15 February.

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.
