Tonight Ava-Rose and Ciara competed in the Glasgow Bar association debating semi-final. Unfortunately they were just pipped at the post by students 2 years their senior. This is just the beginning though and they will be back with a bang next year

Once again I'm flabbergasted by the quality of our young people! Everyone performed brilliantly and for the first time competing in a debate we managed to get a team through to the semi-finals and narrowly missed out on 2! Well done Katie, Nazee, Noah & Rose @HolyroodSec #ABC

Sadly, there will be no debating this week as we are heading over to play the S6s at football. The only debate will be by how many the teachers will win... #jinxedit
