Gosford High School - 2008 winners of the Years 9 & 10 Premier's Debating ChallengeThe Premier's Debating Challenge for students in Years 9 and 10, staged by the Arts Unit of the NSW Department of Education and Training, dates back to 1950 when the Teasdale brothers donated a trophy for a debating competition between North Sydney Region Boys Schools. By 1979 the "Teasdale Cup" had expanded to include schools from Picton in the south to Wyong in the north. In 1982 it became a state-wide competition.
