St. Fintan’s High School has a proud and established legacy of public speaking and debating at both Junior and Senior levels.

Our students have the opportunity to participate in debating competitions and training seminars. At present, we have a team of 6th Year students preparing to compete in the prestigious Concern Debates 2021/2.

Debating is a great way to develop existing skills and competencies in addition to acquiring a repertoire of new interpersonal skills useful for employment, such as building confidence in public speaking.

Such initiatives also provide students with the platform to challenge their critical thinking and build their analytical and social skills.
This year’s students are proof that St. Fintan’s will continue to produce a high caliber of articulate orators and active global citizens for years to come!
