Debating, STEMPunks & other pursuits

Debating

Students in middle school have the opportunity to participate in debating events. Debating builds self-confidence, critical thinking skills, teamwork and public speaking and overall communication skills. Debating also helps students to consider different perspectives and ideas and teaches students how to stand up for something they believe in, how to have their voice heard and how to share their ideas with others.

At a senior school level, students can participate in MOOT competitions.
