Bennett Roebuck-Krautz

My Mother is a teacher of more than forty years whose belief is that education is everything. I attended and was the Dux of my local public primary school; I was taught by outstanding teachers. For my secondary education, I attended Sydney Grammar on a full academic scholarship, and received a 99+ ATAR. I studied a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of New South Wales, followed by an Honours from Sydney University, majoring in English for both. Throughout these three stages of my education, I have devoted myself to words and language, not only through my English specialisation, but also my participation in debating. I am continuing with this commitment to communication as I finish my final degree, a Master of Teaching (Secondary), which qualifies me to teach English globally in school settings.

Some of my most notable achievements are:

  • Being the current coach of the Australian Debating Team (2026) and one of its members when I was in Year 12 (2020).

  • Being the past coach of the victorious New South Wales Debating Team (2025) and one of its members in 2020.

  • Being the Captain of Debating at Sydney Grammar School in 2020.

  • Being ranked as the second best University Debater in Australia (2025) and the Best University Adjudicator in Australia (2025).
