Macquarie Schools’ Cup

 

The Macquarie Schools' Cup is a secondary school debating tournament which has been hosted and run by Macquarie University Debating Society (MUDS) since 2000. Senior, Intermediate and Junior Division Tournaments are held each year, catering for Years 11 & 12, 9 & 10 and 7 & 8 respectively. The tournament invites government and non-government schools within the Sydney region to take part in a day of fierce yet friendly debating competition.
