Thornton Public School Debating Team

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—I would like to congratulate the Year 6 debating team at Thornton Public School who recently won the Raymond Terrace Rotary Debating Challenge for the second year in a row. Despite a fierce challenge from the students of Salt Ash Public School, the Thornton team was victorious as the affirmation team for the topic - '"That all major news outlets should be required to provide accurate and unbiased coverage of major events. "I'm told the Thornton team had some fantastic arguments to support this topic as true. And not only did they take home the trophy again but also won $500 for the school. This yearly event is organised by the Rotary Club of Raymond Terrace, and I thank you to all involved in co-ordinating this wonderful event. Congratulations once again to the events winners the Year 6 debating team at Thornton Public School!
