Senior Certificate Grade
About the Senior Certificate Grade
The Senior Certificate grade is the lowest of the senior intercollegiate debating grades. Teams must consist of only fifth, sixth, and seventh formers (Years 11, 12 and 13). It is designed for senior students new to debating, in comparison to the Premiers A and B grade, and the emphasis is on learning and participation.
Schools may enter up to three teams in the Senior Certificate Grade.
The winning school each receives the Rennie Cup, first awarded in 1992. For a list of past winners, click here.
