Ongoing Activities



THINK. STUDY. SPEAK. DEBATE.
WHY NOT?

There are countless skills students learn in debate. While people generally think that debate is only for those interested in legal or political careers, the whole process of preparing for a debate and debating provides such a learning and growth experience for any student. Between the research on current issues and underlying issues and then developing thinking skills, public speaking and debating strategy, a student has a real opportunity to grow and gain skills that can enable him or her to find and have a voice and impact their community. You will never be the same in confidence and your ability to assess world affairs and research viewpoints on both sides of a topic.

Saskatoon Home Educated Debaters meet once a week on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Ong residence, 5550 Clarence Ave. South, Casa Rio (south of Grasswood Rd., just past the SPCA/Animal Pound)..The club participates in tournaments sponsored by the Saskatchewan Elocution and Debate Association. This year the debate topics include: banning smoking in vehicles containing children; biofuels, immigration, government and politics and for the Provincial Debate, the use of child labor.

Homeschooled Students in Grade 5-12 are invited to join the club. FIRST CLUB MEETING IS ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2008.
