🎤 Concern Primary Debates 2025 🎤 The Concern Primary Debates, organised in conjunction with Education Support Centres across Ireland, give pupils a fantastic opportunity to: ✅ Speak confidently in public and in front of their peers ✅ Develop research, language, and debating skills ✅ Explore global issues that affect millions of people 👏 Our 6th Class pupils took part in Round 1 of the debates on Thursday, November 6th, proposing the motion: “Social Media should be banned for under 16s.” Both teams performed brilliantly, showing excellent preparation, teamwork and confidence! We send our best wishes to Scoil Eoin as they progress to Round 2, and a huge congratulations to our 6th Class students and their teachers, Ms. Niamh MacAuley and Mr. Seán Daly, for guiding and preparing the teams so well. 👏 A big well done also to all classmates who supported behind the scenes with research, timekeeping and encouragement — true teamwork in action! 💬 Debating is alive and thriving at Scoil na mBuachaillí! 💙 Thanks to West Cork Education Centre for organising this excellent initiative.
