Oracy in Action: A Term of Talking Points

It’s been a busy half-term for our debaters, with fixtures against Berko, KWS and the Harpenden Schools Competition. Our teams performed brilliantly, and Debate Club now attracts over 100 regulars—proof the future is bright.

In the chapel, we hosted St George’s Question Time, featuring leading journalists and student panellist Honrick. With the whole sixth form present; it was a powerful showcase of oracy. Thanks go to our new senior captains and leads for ensuring the event ran smoothly.

Year 12 students also attended evening lectures at KCL and UCL, tackling topics from Votes at 16+ to wealth tax. Organisers praised their confidence and sharp questioning in front of academics and university students.

This exposure to high level academia and super curricular opportunities are so important for university applications and we look forward to providing them with more of these opportunities next term. These include a trip to Balliol College, Oxford and visits from Old Georgians and Oxbridge professors.
