We are always looking for new adjudicators for our school debating
and public speaking competitions. Click here to
watch a video from the DAV President on why you should become involved.
Adjudicating school debates is a challenging and rewarding way
of making a contribution and meeting new people. Additionally, you will receive $64 for each regional night that you attend (or up to $85 per round in outer regions).
Many of our adjudicators are university students who previously
participated in our programs but anybody can apply to become an adjudicator, and we will provide you with the necessary training and support - no previous experience is required.
Online training sessions run for approximately 3 hours.
Extended in-person sessions to give you a chance to meet other new members and do some more practical learning activities, we encourage you to come along but do note it is a 9am-5pm session (with breaks) and involves completing the test onsite in the afternoon.
Upcoming sessions will run on:
5.30pm Tuesday 4 June on Zoom
9am Saturday 15 June in Person at the Kathleen Syme Library in Parkville
Note that non-school students require a Working with Children card to attend sessions at school venues.
Please complete the form to select your preferred session or join the mailing list so that we can send you information about upcoming training sessions.
