Spanish Debating

ATS Irlanda host a Spanish debating competition every year. The Senior Cycle students of Templeogue College have been participating in these competitions for over 10 years with a long history of successfully claiming the cup.

The aim of these debates is to encourage and promote spontaneous discussions through Spanish as well as preparing students for topics which could appear throughout their Senior Cycle studies, particularly in their opinion piece question on their Leaving Certificate exam.

This year, our students have made it to the semi-finals of the Plate. They will compete against Belvedere College on the 5th December, 2019 to win a place in the final. The motion is “Esta casa cree que deberíamos introducir una cuota de género en las elecciones parlamentarias” (We should introduce a gender quota into parliamentary elections) with Templeogue College opposing the motion.

¡Buena suerte a los estudiantes esta semana!
