The Great Debate 2024

The Great Debate 2024 was a night to remember! Driven by the goal to raise funds and awareness for children’s literacy, we were blown away by the support of our dedicated donors and partners! The Great Debate Gala is our biggest night of the year and thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and guests, we raised over $310,000 to support disadvantaged children across Australia access life-changing literacy programs.

Congratulations to all our debaters – Adam Spencer, Carolyn Swindell and Mark Humphries and our winning negative team – Anna Downes, Rachel Spratt and Rob Carlton who hilariously convinced the crowd that authors are safe from AI taking over!

Our Great Debate Gala would not be possible without our generous event sponsors B dynamic Logistics, Dymocks Books, Top Print Productions and Yangaro.

A big thank you to our special guests who joined us Bass Hill Public School Principal, Amiee Jahshan, Ambassador, Jacqueline Harvey and MC, Kylie Gillies.

Together, we are making an impactful difference to the lives and literacy of Australia’s most vulnerable communities. We are already looking forward to next year’s Great Debate Gala!
