DEBATING AT SYDENHAM HIGH
Q In the summer term all the Year 5 boys headed up to Sydenham High Junior School for a morning of debating. The morning commenced with a feisty ‘Sydenham vs Dulwich’ debate, with our team (Henry Gooderham, Nikolas Vrahimis and Daniel Bristow) opposing the motion that the voting age should be lowered to 16 here in the UK. The boys then broke off into smaller debating workshops where they worked collaboratively with the girls to prepare proposing and opposing arguments on motions linked to healthy eating, gun crime and the role of the royal family in the 21st century. It was a great experience for the boys and will hopefully be the catalyst for more debating opportunities for Junior School boys in the next academic year.
