Mother and Do ghter Dinner and Debate The annual Mother and Daughter Dinner was once again a popular event, held this year at Moda Restaurant, Portside The center piece of the event is, of course, the debate between a team of current students and a team of alumnae, Lucinda Tonge (12R), Amelia MCSorley (12L) and Georgia Hahn (120) took the Affirmative on the topic That YouTube its the new test tube, while Iacinta Living stone (alumna 2008), Catherine Blake (alumna 2009) and Giulietta Avenia (alumna 2010) took the negative. Guest adjudicator Sally Stubbing ton (alumna 2003) declared the Affirmative team the winners Coming back to debate in the Mother and Daughter debate is like returning home to your big extended family. It's wonderful to see the teachers who inspired me at school, remember the School spirit I enjoyed at Girls Grammar and experience firsthand that Year 12 Grammar debaters are still arguing better cases than ever! Discussing YouTube as a resource for furthering education it reinforced for me the rapid pace at which technology is becoming a key element in secondary education. Even betwee graduating in 2008 and watching the impact of technology on the Year 1251n 2011, the change is extraordinary. That bel g said, it was lovely to be back in a sea of navy and white and to remember that some things - like a Grammar girl's appreciation for a delicious dinner and dessert never change
