Originair Kahurangi-Marlborough Impromptu Cup 2024

On Sunday the 4th of August, NZSDC ran Originair Kahurangi-Marlborough Impromptu Cup! Students debated on a wide range of topics, from education, to the Olympics, to parenting. Even more impressively, they did it with only 5 minutes to prepare before the debate started!

We’d like to congratulate Garin College Junior Maroon (Jack Hall, Matthaeus Kwan) for winning the Junior Final in a tightly fought debate against Garin College Junior Bronze (Petra Cogger, Paige Butler). In the Senior Final, we’d like to congratulate Nayland College Senior A (Annabel Batt, Stella Bloomfield), who won against Waimea College Senior Green (Riley Nicholls, Lee Purdie, Kayla White).

We’d like to say a big thank you to our sponsor, Originair, for allowing the competition to happen. We’d also like to thank Gaye Bloomfield and Nayland College for hosting the competition. We can’t wait for next year!
