Premier's Debating Challenge
Our debating team had their first debate of the year against Warialda Public School today. They had a very interesting topic: “That schools should make their top students spend one afternoon a week helping a struggling classmate”.
Each speaker did an amazing job with their rebuttals and putting forward persuasive arguments.
The adjudicator awarded Barraba Central as the winners for this debate. Congratulations Cassidy Graves, Riley Phillips, Jasmine Coombes and Ella-Rose Jobson-Gasnick!

School Multicultural Public Speaking Competition
Years 3-6 students participated in the School Multicultural Public Speaking Competition. All students spoke clearly and had well-prepared speeches that were enjoyable to listen to.
We commend you all for your efforts and courage. Congratulations to the following students that were selected to represent our school in the Multicultural Speaking Competition.
Year 7 and 8 enjoyed a relaxing and informative day at the Living classroom at Bingara. Students were taken on a guided tour of the facility which was a great way to finish our Geography unit ‘Water in the World’. The highlight of the day was the lunch time visit to the awesome red river gum on the banks of the Gwydir (although the bakery was good too!).
It was nice to talk to Bingara resident Mr Johnston who dropped by to say hello.
