Congratulations Annacemone Nashid from Year 10 who has been selected as a representative for the Western Sydney Zone at the Junior State Debating Championships.
Throughout Term 3 each region runs debating trials to pick a squad of their very best Years 9 and 10 debaters. Annacemone Nashid and Anisha Joiya were selected to represent Plumpton at the regional try-outs, competing in a series of debates. Both were strong contenders for selection, facing students from a range of comprehensive and top academically selective high schools in NSW.
Annacemone progressed to the second round of callbacks, impressing the panels of selectors and securing a spot on the regional team.
In being selected for the team, Annacemone goes on to represent the Western Sydney against the other nine regions at a championships debating camp held over three days in December, at the Women's College of Sydney University.
I would also like to congratulate and thank Ms. Dixon our Head Teacher Mentor who has competed internationally in debating for Sydney University and Ms. Matthews for their incredible coaching and preparation of our school debating teams that has led to this extraordinary level of accomplishment and success.
Well done Annacemone on this considerable achievement.
Tim Lloyd, Principal
