Mary Immaculate Primary Newsletter

During the past few weeks, every student in Year 6 presented two speeches to their peers. The Year 6 teachers were amazed at the high quality of all of these speeches.

From this pool of wonderful talent, we had two students selected to compete against other schools in our Diocese next term - Anthony A and Lachlan G.

Anthony presented a thought provoking speech about why a sense of humour is important.

Lachlan presented a very passionate and  persuasive speech about spaghetti.

Anthony and Lachlan will represent Mary Immaculate at the Voice of Youth cluster finals at the end of August.

We wish them both the very best of luck!

On Tuesday, 7th June, 8 debaters from Mary Immaculate debated against one another. The teams showed respect to each other, and the opposing team. The topic for this debate was ‘That the internet is more harmful than useful.’

The first speaker of the AFFIRMATIVE team was Isis, the second speaker was Samantha and the third speaker was Hayden, with the refuting speaker being Scarlett.

The first speaker, Isis, talked about electronic warming emissions, eye health and social media which helped construct and analyze that the internet was more harmful than useful.

The second speaker, Samantha, spoke about why TV is educational, that it has fun learning benefits for children and adults and that it can help with health benefits and can reduce stress and anxiety. 

The third speaker, Hayden, discussed that the internet can harm your DNA which can lead to personality change and social disorders.

The first speaker of the NEGATIVE team was Nathan, the second speaker was Florence and the third speaker was  Isla, with the refuting speaker being Elena.

The first negative speaker, Nathan, spoke about how the internet connects people around almost the whole world, how it adds convenience to our lives, and how the news keeps us up to date.

The second speaker Florence spoke about how you can listen to music which can help you if you are feeling sad or depressed, how you can learn things and find job opportunities on the internet.

 The third speaker, Isla spoke about how the internet can help keep us entertained. It does this through social media platforms including Facebook, Tiktok and Instagram. It also does this through apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Stan. 

Both teams tried their hardest during the debate. A close debate saw the Negative team win. Congratulations to the entire Debating Team for their collaborative effort and representation on the day.
