Dear Coordinator, We are pleased to invite your school to participate in the2014 KilmoreRegional Debating Competition.Since 2003, the DAV has run regional programs around Victoria to encourage students in rural areasto become involved in debating. Our regional programs areopen to any student in Years 7 to 10, regardless of their debating experience.This year the program willinclude a training session designed for inexperienced debaters, followed by a competition day.The training day will be held onWednesday23July, atThe Kilmore International Schoolfrom 1.30 pm until 3.30 pm. This session will cover the basics of debating, discuss methods of preparation and practice for the competition, and provide an opportunity to ask questions of DAV trainers and adjudicators, as well as a chance to practice debating skills. This is an optional component of the program and schools unable to attend the day will be sent a debating guide and a topic resource guide to assist students to prepare for the competition day.The debating competitionsfor both the Year 7/8 and Year 9/10 divisions will be heldon Wednesday 6 August, at The Kilmore International Schoolfrom 9.15am until 3.00pm. Each division has three debates, with the last debate a secret/advised topic.Entry into the program is $120 per team(three to nine students per team) and a $30 membership fee, per school, if your school has not participated in any DAV competitions this year.Participating in debating is a great wayfor students tobuild public speaking skills, discuss issues, and work closely with other schools in the region.The Kilmore Regional Debating Competition is a rare opportunity for students to gain insight and feedback from experienced trainers and adjudicators and to participate in a structured, welcoming interschool program.To register, simplyemail ([email protected]) orfax (03) 9348 9466the attached form to by5pmMonday 21 July.
