The Theatre was buzzing last Wednesday as Year 6 students from Carramar and Duncraig headed into their Rookie Debating Grand Final. The teams debated whether ‘Space travel is a waste of time and money’ with both sides presenting well-rounded and convincing arguments. In the end, it was Carramar’s rookie debaters who took out the top spot – by just one point! Well done to all our Debating students.

Below is a photo of the students receiving their ration packs. They are having a FEAST in Timae today to create more awareness.
These are my wonderful Y8s that were investigating the effect of double glazing to make more energy efficient homes.
