Exciting results in the world of OBHS Debating!

By Rohan O'Shea | Posted: Thursday August 31, 2023

Throughout the year our 3 junior debating teams have been competing in the Dunedin Schools' Debating (DSD) competition.

They've had a fantastic year; the announcement was made this week for the semi-final round. OBHS 1 and OBHS 2 have made the semi-finals, placing 2nd and 3rd in the table, behind 1st place only on speaker points. This is incredible, having two OBHS teams in the semi-final four! 

Based on these results, OBHS 1 will verse OBHS 2 in the semi-finals, confirming OBHS a slot in the final! This is a wonderful achievement, a reflection of the hard work and dedication that the lads have put in. Best of luck!

Results:

  1. Columba 1 (5 wins, 1467.5 speaker points)
  2. OBHS 1 (5 wins, 1451 speaker points)
  3. OBHS 2 (5 wins, 1422 speaker points)
  4. OGHS 2 (4 wins, 1427 speaker points)

OBHS 1 - Sam Holborow, Josh Geddes and Will Cone.
OBHS 2 - Michael Kirkland, Liam Davis and Oliver Jamieson.
