Updates!

Hey guys! some updates in the various competitions the society has been sending out teams to.

First and foremost, we had a team of under 14s taking aprt in the RJC U14 Debating Championships, and here are the results!

SJII (opp) vs Catholic High (prop)
We lost narrowly in this one! But as always, participating in a debate always ups our game up by a notch. Gets the blood boiling, the creative juices flowing, and so on and so forth.

SJII (prop) vs RGS (opp)
This one was techincally ours of the taking according to Thiru. Unfortunately, the adjudicator seemed to have a sort of bias, and at first we lost, but then it became a draw. Speak to Thiru personally for the full story! (It's quite funny!)

SJII(prop) vs Crescent Girls' School(opp)
This one was ours for the takign quite easily! The motion was "THW force students to do community service".
The debate was an impromptu debate which no doubt fired/flustered up our U14 debators. Worth mentioning however, is that the CGS team trained for a week without any coach, so no time to rest on your laurels!

And last but not least the team!

They are:
Hannah
Edward
Samy
Dominic
Ryan

Kudos to the team for rising to the occasion!
It's always been the case that SJII debators start off really badly, get polished up by a certain egoistic person, and somehow when it comes to the test; we always stand it, and most times even overcome it; exceedingly well, for our level of training!

Good job guys!
