PRIMARY SCHOOL DEBATING REGIONAL FINAL WINNERS!

14/6/2015

 
The amazing members of Gowran N.S debating team recently continued their winning run by defeating Shielbaggan National School from County Wexford in the regional final of the competition. The motion for debate was that, "Soccer players are paid too much" and Gowran convincingly opposed the motion on the day.Well done to the children for their commitment and hard work and to their teacher, Mrs. O' Keefe, who has mentored them throughout the competition.
 Many thanks to the Kilkenny Education Centre for sponsoring transport for all sixth class to travel to the Brandon Hotel in New Ross to support their team and for providing goodie bags for all in attendance! The photograph shows the team receiving their awards at a ceremony in the Education Centre from Minister Jan O' Sullivan.( missing from photo is David Holland)
