NGS Super Virtual Debating 2019 

In 2019 The Association of Independent Schools of NSW (AISNSW) will coordinate the NGS Super National Virtual Debating Competition. AISNSW will also make every attempt to structure all competitions in 2019 as ‘double elimination’. This means schools must lose twice to be eliminated and will in most cases have 3 or more debates. The EOI registers your serious intent only and is not a final confirmation. After the EOI process, schools will be made an offer and then payment of fees will confirm entry.
