DebatING

The school's debating Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) serves as a platform for students to receive comprehensive support in honing their debate skills. With access to expert coaches, structured training, and hands-on experience through mock trials, students are equipped to independently participate in various debating competitions. Through this CCA, students not only engage with global issues of significance but also develop proficient public speaking skills and gain a deep understanding of the technical aspects of the 'world schools' debate format.

Participation in a debating training CCA fosters creativity by encouraging students to think critically and creatively when formulating arguments and counterarguments on a wide range of topics. This intellectual flexibility and the need to explore innovative perspectives enrich their ability to express themselves persuasively and construct compelling narratives.
