2026 Junior School Debates Day

The USU is excited to welcome students to the University of Sydney campus for a fun day of competition at the Schools Debate Day! This event celebrates Junior students in debating from Year 7 - Year 9. Held on: Friday 4th December 2026 Registrations close: Wednesday 26th November 2026 The day will be divided into three sessions of debates. All schools should arrive at 8:40am in preparation for the start of the first session at 9:00am. We understand the importance of running Schools Debate Day to time, particularly given the travel requirements of many schools attending. A $50 registration deposit is required for each team to confirm their place and help us manage attendance. The deposit will be fully refunded after the event, provided the registered team attends. Refund requests can only be made before registrations close on Wednesday 26th November 2026. Once registrations have closed, if a registered team does not attend the event, the $50 deposit will be forfeited. Further information will be provided to registered teams.
