Session 2018-19

INTER-HOUSE DEBATE COMPETITION

“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.” – Joseph Joubert
The new session embarked with the phenomenal Inter–House Debate Competition, organised by Aryabhatta House on April 30th , 2019 in the school auditorium. The event was graced with the presence of respected Academic Director – Ms Pratibha Sharma, Vice Principal- Ms Ruchi Sharma, Headmistress – Ms Ishita Mishra.

A debate is one of the academic activities that gives the students creative room to express what they feel. The school organizes such competitions for students in order to motivate them to overcome stage fear and showcase their talents.

Debaters from each house debated excellently in favour and against the motion. There were four categories ranging from Class VII – XI. Each category had different topics. The audience applauded each one of them as they kept forth their arguments with great confidence and aplomb. The participants were judged on content, expression and fluency. Tagore House won the competition, followed by Aryabhatta House and Shankaracharya House, both at the second position.  It was an erudite experience for both, the participants as well as the audience.
