YCIS Chongqing Secondary students have recently completed their debate unit and class representatives from each year level competed in a final debate competition. Focusing on our environmental theme, students used their research, writing, speaking and responding skills to participate in a thrilling debate competition over two days. This was the first time our school has hosted a debate competition and all staff are proud to see the display of talent and teamwork from our students.

We hope to provide more events like this one next year that encourage more participation, engagement and competition in English. Well done to all students for their great effort in our unit and congratulations to all of our winners!
