De La Salle Students Triumph at ACC Intermediate Competitions

Earlier this month, Mazenod College hosted the ACC Intermediate Debating, Public Speaking, Drama, and Pitch competitions, where nine De La Salle students proudly represented the school. Among them were eight Year 9 students from Holy Eucharist and one Year 10 student from Kinnoull.

From the first debate, it was evident that our students exceptionally well-prepared and confident, even when competing against older Year 10 students. Our students demonstrated exceptional skill, even those who were first-time debaters, by speaking clearly, formulating strong arguments, and delivering sharp rebuttals.

By the end of the day, our debate team emerged as the Division 2 champions — an incredible achievement that marks the first-ever ACC competition victory for Holy Eucharist. The win is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, setting a new standard for future competitions.

Congratulations to our Division 2 champions: Dylan Kilby, Heath Ryan, Orlando Schiavo, Finley Clarke, and Joshua Pope. A well-deserved commendation also goes to participants Nicholas Kauffman, Jay Koronowicz, Joe Jackson, and Arthur Smithard, who all contributed to the day’s success. This victory is a proud moment for De La Salle College debating and a significant milestone for Holy Eucharist.
