The St. Jarlath's College Literary and Debating Society is in full swing this term with weekly debates being held at lunch time. We are delighted to welcome many new First Years who have shown a lot of promise as excellent debaters! We finished off the term with an in-house Christmas debating competition for First and Second Years. The motion was "That This House Believes Social Media Is Dangerous". The students debated the motion with great passion leaving the adjudicators with the difficult decision of picking a winning team. First place was awarded to proposing team Alex Connaughton and Joseph Ryder with Rory Morgan for the opposition awarded Best Speaker. All other speakers were highly commended. Well done to all and we look forward to welcoming new and existing members after the Christmas break.
