Concern Primary School Debates
Every year, our 6th class pupils take part in a Debating Competition organised by Concern and the Laois Education Centre.
They learn important skills around research, teamwork, listening and public speaking. A number of our pupils have gone on to debate at very high levels in secondary school.
Our Debating Team is Lily Belle Monnelly, Grace Caplice, Mae Delaney, Róise Kelly, Rhys O' Neill, Tara O' Regan and Ava McNamee
