MTGS Success in Eco Schools Debate

On Tuesday 7th, five Year 10 girls travelled down to London to take part in the first Eco Schools Debate Challenge. All 5 girls made excellent contributions during debates based on important environmental issues such as whether deforestation only has negative consequences, whether the demand for water will lead to conflict and the importance of energy security over food security. The girls competed  at a high standard against several other schools and were marked on the quality, relevance and timing of their debates. The team raised interesting and critical points and responded well under pressure to make excellent counter-arguments within the time restrictions.

MTGS finished in 4th place overall which is an outstanding result! Mollie Jones was awarded a medal for outstanding individual performance with her contributions being recognised by judges in each of the debates. Well done to all of the girls involved!

The team was made up of the following girls:

Mollie Jones

Molly Dean

Emma Williams
