Debating Preliminary Season Wrap Up

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news about our recent performance in the CSDA Debating Competition. Our teams have shown incredible dedication, improvement, and skill throughout the competition, and we couldn't be prouder of their achievements in the last 6 rounds of the competition.

Over the course of the competition, our results have improved significantly. This remarkable progress is a testament to the hard work of our teachers and adjudicators, whose constructive feedback has been instrumental in helping our speakers grow and develop. Their commitment to our students' success has truly made a difference.

Out of our 12 teams, four have made it through to the next stage of the competition—a huge congratulations to them! A special shout-out goes to our 9A and 10A teams, who will advance straight through as undefeated champions in the preliminary rounds. Additionally, our 10B and 11A teams will compete in the elimination rounds to secure their spots in the finals. The draw for the next phase of the competition will be released next week, and we eagerly await the exciting matchups ahead.

A huge thank you goes out to all the helpers who make our debating events possible. From setting up rooms and timekeeping to chairing debates and being part of our audiences, your contributions are invaluable. All students involved in these efforts will be receiving merits and certificates in recognition of their assistance.

Thank you once again to everyone who has supported debating over the year. We still have a way to go, but it has already been an incredible year filled with growth and success. Let's continue to cheer on our debaters as they strive for excellence in the upcoming stages of the competition.

Congratulations once again to all our speakers for their incredible effort this year.
