Debating- Will

Personally I loved the class debating session we had. Honestly at first I was so happy with the side I got put on for our debate The New Zealand Flag Should Be Changed. I was on the negating team and was really pumped because I didn't think that the flag should be changed. Then I changed. After getting into my debate and writing my speech I started to really think and I realised I actually really liked the new designs that the board had picked. In fact my 1st favourite and mr 3rd favourite were both in the top four list. Overall I think the whole setup of the debates was fantastic all the adjudicators, Chairperson's and time keepers did a fantastic job. None of them showed any favouritism and they all took their jobs very seriously. I was extremely happy with my debate and thought the end result was very fair: The other team one. But I got best speaker followed very closely by Toby who spoke very well and could have easily taken the best speaker title.

Overall it was a fantastic experience and if I am given the opportunity I feel I would love doing the debate against QMC or possibly doing it at college
