For the TY classes, Loreto organised a debate. There were two teams and on each team there were two Loreto students, one student from St Patrick's Classical school and one Mercy student. The motion was "Modern Technology is Destroying Our Ability to Communicate". The teams met up three times before the debate to discuss the motion and write their speeches. On the day of the debate the teams had to present their speech in front of the three different school's TY classes. This was a good approach to build up your confidence for speaking to a large audience. Loreto hosted the debate for the three groups of TY in their school. This was a good way to get all three schools together to get to know each other.
