Concordia Lutheran School - Debates 2021-2022

This year our school’s debate team had 6 passionate and ambitious members namely Peter Chan from S4A, Nikki Yao from S5A, Scott Sze from S5C and Gloria Chan, Stephanie Keung and Grace Lee from S5D.

We met, brainstormed and prepared for each of our debate competitions with spirited and industrious vigour. Three of us would take part at one time in each competition and then swap to allow the other three to take part in the next one.  In this way, neither were we stressed, nor did we get overworked throughout the year. Our performances too were of good quality which resulted in us winning the championship in the first term and acquiring one win in the second term as well.

Our debate motions weren’t easy - the topics in the first term were: E-sports should be added to the Olympics; THW cap the amount of clothing an individual is allowed to buy and the championship round topic was: THW allow negative advertising campaigns by companies against their competitors

In the second Term the debate motions were: THW deny smokers access to public healthcare;: THW Ban all advertising during entertainment content aimed at children and THBT celebrities should not act as spokespeople for humanitarian issues

The debate team has thus set a high standard for their successors in the future and has made CLS very proud indeed.
