🎤🗣️Senior Debating & Public Speaking Society🎤🗣️
Do you love a good argument? Do you want to sharpen your speaking skills and build confidence? Debating & Public Speaking in Templeogue College is the perfect place to challenge ideas, express opinions and think on your feet.
So, what’s the difference between the two? Debating is a structured discussion where two sides argue for or against a topic, using logic, evidence and persuasion. We generally use the BP (British Parliamentary Style) format but experiment with other styles too. It helps develop critical thinking, confidence and quick thinking. Public Speaking is the art of delivering speeches clearly and effectively, whether to inform, persuade or inspire an audience. Both skills improve communication, boost confidence and prepare students for leadership and real world discussions!
Who is it for? Open to all 5th and 6th years, whether you’re a seasoned speaker or just starting out.
What we do:
✅ Debate weekly motions
✅ Prepare for competitions
✅ Discuss, debate and enjoy!
🗓️ Every Thursday at 12.50pm. Bring your lunch and join the conversation!
