Junior L & H Debating Competition

Every Monday evening, the English room becomes engulfed by eager debaters, hungry to learn the skills of oration. Alanah O'Byrne (2nd), Cormac Kelly (2nd), Eoin Little (1st), Jake Turley (1st), Megan Wynne (1st) and Ana Jovanovic (1st) have all admirably represented Stratford College at UCD. They're thriving under the expert tutelage of Lucy Murphy, a past pupil, and Ms S. O'Sullivan.  We look forward to a new round of debates in the Spring.
