  • Term 2

In the second term of 2018-19, our English Debating Team participated in four competitions which provided valuable chances for both the junior and senior debaters to sharpen their critical thinking, presentation and refuting skills.

In Round 1 of the Hong Kong Secondary School Debating Competition, Edith Or, William Fu and Kelvin Ho from S3 defeated the opposition with the motion ‘This house regrets the rise of private space enterprises such as SpaceX’.

In Round 2, the senior team, Hugo Kwan, Jimmy Kong and Kelvin Ho also brought home the victory and Jimmy was crowned the Best Debater in the competition. Congratulations to both teams!
