![2026 Season Update!
The third and final Education Evening, titled Secret Topic Case Construction, POI & Rebuttal Masterclass, will be held on Tuesday 31 March 2026, from 4:30 to 6:00pm in Big School Room, St Peter's College.
This workshop is best suited for Intermediate A, Senior B and Senior A debaters. It is an advanced masterclass focused on high-level rebuttal, avoiding "shopping list" rebuttal, integrated rebuttal, analytical advantage, identifying key clashes, responding to POIs, and preparing for secret topic debates.
Our annual series of Education Evenings are free and led by SADA Education Officers. The sessions are open to all students and school debating coaches in South Australia. They are an amazing gateway for new debaters' introductory exposure to debating or for returning debaters to refresh their knowledge prior to the new competition season.

[The first and second Education Evenings, on 16 and 24 March respectively, will explore debating fundamentals, junior/intermediate case construction and rebuttal.
