Wokingham Schools’ Parliamentary Debating Competition, 2007
Next Thursday 11th October at 7pm, defending champions Bearwood College will host the first round of this year’s Wokingham Schools Parliamentary Debating Competition. They will be pitting their wits against The Emmbrook, Luckley-Oakfield, and The Holt Schools. On Thursday the 18th October, 7pm, host school The Willink will be challenged by Padworth College, Maiden Erlegh and St. Crispin’s Schools. The proceedings will follow a parliamentary format, and the motions for debate include the effectiveness of anti-social behaviour orders, school runs by car, and the hugging of hoodies. Local businesses and the media are again giving their support to the competition which is designed to give Wokingham students confidence and additional verbal and reasoning skills when interviewing for university or for jobs. Speaking about the competition, Wokingham MP John Redwood said: “I’m delighted to be organising the fourth Wokingham Schools’ Debating competition. It is very important that we do everything we can to help our students succeed in their chosen profession. Debating and presentation skills are highly valued by universities and companies. “I would like to thank our sponsors: 3M, William Clark, Classicstone Properties, Clifton Ingram, Raphael Vive & Co and The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc for their generous support.” Winners and runners-up of the competition are treated to a day in Parliament when they and their teachers can watch a Parliamentary debate. Local Member of Parliament, John Redwood, gives them a full tour of the Palace of Westminster and lunch. All participants receive prizes from the House of Commons and the wining school also receives a wonderful projector from 3M. The Semi Final will be held on Thursday the 1st November and the Final on Thursday the 8th November, both in Wokingham Town Hall at 7pm. Tickets are available from Christine Hill on 01189 629501. |
