With several different levels of challenge, Rangitoto College has a place for everyone interested in debating. The Open competitions for both juniors and seniors provide a space for those new to debating or looking for a more casual way to work on their presenting skills. Those looking for a more competitive experience can join the Premier Junior and Premier Advanced teams, which take on competitions such as the East Coast Bays Annual Rotary Debate and have seen students go on to participate in the New Zealand Schools’ Competition.

The criteria towards this being added onto your student profile is

• being a member of a debating team
• attend more than 50% of team meetings
• participate in at least one interschool debate.
