MacLeod Debating
Last night saw the grand final of the annual MacLeod Debating Competition. Kimmerghame’s Matthew J and his partner, Nicola D, were the youngest competitors, as the three other pairs were made up of sixth formers. However, they didn’t allow this to faze them and despite being the 2nd Opposition pair, which meant that much of their speeches had to be made up on the hoof, in response to what the other debaters had said before them, they came through as the overall winners. This is a terrific achievement and bodes well for the future of debating at Fettes. Next week, Sunny J and Clarence L will take up the baton for Kimmerghame in the house competition and we wish them every success in that.
