NSW Debating Union Development Squad – Congratulations Annacemone

20 Apr 2025

Congratulations to Annacemone Nashid who has been invited to attend the National Schools Debating Championships (NSDC) as a member of the NSW Debating Union Development Squad. This is a unique opportunity that the Union have decided to make available to public school students who were successful in making callbacks.

Training for the program is online on Tuesday evenings from 5:30pm, and on Sundays in-person at Knox Grammar School from 10:00am-5:00pm. Annacemone will be able to both have the opportunity to participate in debates and training seminars, as well as shadowing the coaches during some trainings and at NSDC in order to gain foundational coaching and adjudication experience, to support the taking on of coaching roles in the future. The opportunity may also allow time at training and NSDC to count towards the Duke of Edinburgh's volunteering requirement.

Once again congratulations to Annacemone Nashid upon this amazing opportunity and a huge thank you and congratulations to the Plumpton High School Debating Coach and Coordinator Ms Dixon and Ms Matthews for their time and expertise in preparing not only Annacemone, but also the other 35 students in the Plumpton High School Inspire – High potential and gifted education Debating Program.
