The College Debate Team kicked off Term 4 with an intra-club debate, with members debating on a variety of topics to refine their speaking skills and further develop their ability to construct an argument. The team also tuned in to the final US Presidential debate and had lots to say about the use of professional debating etiquette!

Holy Spirit College students have been blessed for many years to have been taught and inspired by two amazing Modern History teachers - Mrs Kate Munro and Mrs Gay Tyrpenou, both who are retiring this year. To show their appreciation Year 12 Modern History students contacted world renowned historian Sir Richard Evans to record a farewell message to Mrs Munro. To their absolute amazement Sir Richard offered to meet with them via Zoom, and what an incredible 40 minutes they had! Thank you to Year 12 for their innovative farewell gift.
