About this Event
Trialling for the NSW Schools Debating Team is your opportunity to be a part of the most successful team in the history of the National Schools Debating Championships and to get some valuable skills along the way. The 2023 trials for the NSW Schools Debating Team will be held on Saturday 7th of March and Sunday 8th of March.
