Plymouth Brethren students take on a ‘Great Debate’
15,000 students, teachers and parents from across the globe tuned in to watch OneSchool Global’s (OSG) second Great Debate, where select students took to Zoom to tackle a virtual debate with their international peers.
The students debated current topics like whether artificial intelligence threatens human potential and creativity or whether students who fail an assessment should be allowed to retake it.
Year 12 Lancaster student Kelsey Bricknell secured her position in the finals. She said she was grateful for the opportunity to work with fellow students from across the world and to learn from their unique debating styles.
“I was really impressed by Kelsey’s persuasive arguments, especially regarding artificial intelligence. It is great to see our students being so knowledgeable about such important current day topics and to watch them speak so confidently in front of a global audience. It was fantastic to see Kelsey progress from the regional and national debates to the international stage and her brilliant performance made all of us at the Lancaster Campus very proud.” Said Zoe Neesham, Lancaster Campus Principal for OneSchool Global.
