Central Development Day

Central Development Day 2027:  

Central Development Day is a brilliant way for students in grade 7 to 12 to brush up on their debating skills for the 2027 season. It is suitable for debaters with all levels of experience, giving participants the opportunity to receive training and feedback from some of Queensland's most experienced adjudicators. We particularly encourage junior debates as an opportunity to develop their skills prior to the commencement of the competition season.

Registration for this event is totally free, with the BGDA's generous sponsors covering the costs of adjudications and training. 

Schedule: Saturday 20 February 2027 at Brisbane Girls Grammar School.
