Fight Club

Fight_Club_posterThere will be a debate on Friday 12th July in S5 (Crofty’s room) at 1.30.  The motion is:

“This house believes that there is no need for god(s) in a modern society.”

All welcome.

If you are considering law, PR, or studying a subject where constructing an argument is essential, I would encourage you to attend.  It’s also great for developing verbal skills and the confidence to speak up that you will need in interview.  Looks good on your CV too.

Or just come along if you like a good argument!
