Debating competition

Our debate team participated in the semi-final of the competition in Monaghan Education Centre today against Threemilehouse N.S, Monaghan.
The motion for debate was "nobody should have to pay for water" and we opposed the motion.
The speeches were excellent on both sides and the external adjudicator said the crossfire round was "electric"!
Sadly the decision did not go our way today, but we left with our heads high, knowing that the team did their very best.
We wish Threemilehouse the best of luck in the final!
Liorah's mother came to school yesterday and spoke to senior classes about the necessity for water conservation and metering. This is a water meter she brought to show the boys and girls.She also had prepared a very informative slideshow to explain the water treatment cycle.
Lots of tricky questions were asked by both pupils and teachers!
