Zonta Shield Win
We are proud of three Year 12 debaters who successfully defended the Zonta Shield against Botany Downs Secondary College for the third consecutive year. During the Term 2 school holidays, Winnie Zou, Ruiqi Jiang, and Matthew Ye (pictured above) affirmed the moot: “This House believes that girls will be disadvantaged in the future if they only use artificial intelligence and do not help create it.” Their highly engaging speeches and strong rebuttals made for an exciting debate at the Howick Club. Thank you to their parents and debating coach, Ms Du-Blom, for their support.
