In the first half of this year, the College Debating Teams participated in the HICES Debating Competition.

Although the students faced the difficulty of debating over Zoom, they persisted with resilience and diligence in all their debates. Recently, I received exciting news about some fantastic achievements of two members of our Senior School Debating Teams.

Dylan L of Year 8 and Matthew P of Year 9 both achieved top debater in their competitions for the South West Region. Matthew achieved equal top debater with another student in the Senior Competition and Dylan was the sole top debater in the Middle Competition. The boys also ranked on the list of top debaters in all regions.

This is an amazing achievement. I am so proud of the boys and their teams and am excited to see what these teams can achieve in next year’s HICES Debating Competition.
