Gormanston Debating and Public Speaking

Welcome to the Gormanston Debating and Public Speaking blog.

Here you will find out what the students of Franciscan College Gormanston are up to in the world of Debates and Public Speaking. We have a fabulous group of senior students who are very skilled in the art of persuasion and argument. These students feature regularly on this blog and to read more of their individual and team prowess, just check out the ‘posts’ page by clicking on the link above.

Take a look at this video slideshow to see the kind of debates the TY’s took part in between September and December 2011:

The categories on the left hand side-bar give details of the various competitions entered by our courageous and highly talented young speakers. From the parliamentary style Mace debating and Leinster Schools debating to the more traditional style Concern and LMFM competitions, the Gormanston debaters are skilfully able to propose or reject any motion handed to them.

If you are a student who wants to join this vibrant variety of very valuable voices, please let Miss Ryan know asap. Hopefully, when the senior group is more established, it may be possible to open the debates to juniors with a flair for the loquacious.
