The Rotary Club of Tauranga Te Papa with the NZ Schools Debating Council have partnered to rebuild and reenergize school debating within the Bays colleges. For the first time, we are introducing a series of professional debating opportunities for our young Bay of plenty school teams.
Three teams of students will face off against three teams of adults. The adult teams are split into three distinct categories, Political, featuring Labour’s Jan Tinetti, National’s Sam Uffindell and Act’s Cameron Luxton. See Team MMP in action!! Team Local celebs and Team Local business leaders, all squaring off against their junior equivalents and fighting to win the Rotary Cup over three strong debates on the night.
Our school teams are training ahead of the New Zealand Schools Debating Championships which will be held in Wellington in late May 2023. The "Great Debate" is another step on the road to help strengthen our Bay school teams and help prepare them for their regional finals later in the month.
Plus, the ability to bid on specialty items via a live and silent auction and win great prizes with a raffle on the night. Light meal and complimentary drink on arrival provided. Cash bar available.
All net proceeds go towards the promotion of Rotary Youth Development Programs, School Debating, Road safety Education and Spirit of NZ.
Dress up for the occasion and come along to Classic Flyers on Saturday 13th May and support your favourite debating team and enjoy an evening of fun and scholarly entertainment.
