***PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL TEAM NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2015 SECONDARY SCHOOLS COMPETITION MUST BE SUBMITTED
NO LATER THAN FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6, 2015*** Welcome Whether you are a long-term partner of the QDU, or a new coordinator that is contemplating introducing debating to your school for the first time, we would like to thank you for considering our prospectus for 2015. The Queensland Debating Union has a long and proud history of promoting school-level debating in Queensland, catering for hundreds of students from Years 5 to 12 across locations ranging from the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane CBD and the greater Toowoomba region. Through the running of competitions, workshops, and provision of ongoing assistance and resources to schools, we hope to allow students to engage in an activity that not only teaches important skills like public speaking and critical analysis, but also leads to well-rounded individuals who are engaged with the news and world around them. For those returning, we look forward to seeing you in what promises to be a very exciting 2015 season. For those still considering debating, we trust you will find all the information you need in this prospectus. Please do not hesitate to contact us if the QDU can be of further assistance. Regards, Tony Scarcella Office Manager |
