Points of Information

A point of information is a type of conditional interjection. It is practiced at the National Schools’ Debating Championships, and aims to keep speakers engaged in the debate when they are not giving their speeches, as well as encouraging a much more interactive style of debating. Our senior debaters consistently report that the inclusion of points of information adds to the enjoyment and dynamism of debates.

Points of information are practiced from Intermediate A-Grade upwards.The SADA runs a Point of Information Demonstration Debate each year to teach students how to debate with points of information. For more information about the Point of Information Demonstration Debate, please click here.
