We were delighted to see several of our students getting involved in the GDST Junior Debating Competition, which took place virtually two weeks ago.
Congratulations to Saralynn and Yumna (Year 8) who won two out of three heats and, despite being novices, surpassed the novice final to make it into the silver final of the whole competition. This is particularly impressive given both girls are new to British parliamentary style debating, which is fast-paced and based on their ability to come up with really convincing, substantial arguments.
A special mention also goes to Aisling, Eleanor and Meghana who took part as Sixth Form judges in both the heats and the finals.
