In collaboration with the English Department, the Debate Club organized a public speaking competition in the School Hall on 28th June 2022. The following were the themes the participants spoke about.
• Charity Begins at Home – Helping Others, Helping Yourself
• 'Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow,' Albert Einstein
• 'The best way not to feel helpless is to get up and do something', Barack Obama
• 'There is some good in the world and it is worth fighting for', Tolkien
The competitors comprising S1 and S2 students illustrated these themes with PowerPoint slides and displayed the fruits of their labour that entailed weeks of training conducted by Mr. Thapa, the Debate Club i/c and coach. The adjudicators comprising Principal Lee Tung Ching, Assistant Principal Wong Pik Wah, Ms. Josephine Chung and Ms. Wong Yuen Wai deliberated long and hard to select the winners as the competition was very tight. Ali Shiloh Asia and Neff Sofia Naomi of 1D were declared the best team, and Leung Ka Hang of 2D the best individual speaker.
A mixed team of S1 and S2 comprising Talwar Guneet (1C), Tamrakar Yazmin (2D) and Leung Ka Hang (2D) were awarded the first runner-up position, and 2D students - Chen Megan, Igloria Chloe Faye and Gielisha Gallivu Toralde - clinched the second runner-up position. The competitors' knowledge of their chosen theme, poise and eloquence, teamwork and excellent delivery captured the audience's attention.
