Cammeraygal High School Debating Victories

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I would like to acknowledge the exceptional achievements of the Cammeraygal High School's debating team, comprising of Noah Rancan, Jared Atherton, Josh Herridge, and Alexia Rigoni. This team was the only one to remain undefeated throughout the NSW Premier's debating challenge, which took them to the Hume Barbour Trophy final. I would like to congratulate their victories over nine other schools, coming runners up to Sydney Girls High in the final. School captain Josh Herrige has been offered a 2024 Tuckwell Scholarship at the Australian National University. Fellow school captain Alexia Rigoni was a reserve on the State Debating Team, as well as being selected as part of the Combined High Schools Debating team this year. Vice-captain Jared Atherton is not only an avid debater but an incredibly talented violin player, completing his AMEB certificate and being awarded with an A+. Prefect Noah Rancan retained his title as one of five national champions in the Australia Economics Olympiad, displaying tremendous expertise. I congratulate this team of talented and brilliant debaters.
