INTER-HOUSE DEBATE
COMPETITION
CLASSES: IX-XII
DATE: 7th
September 2015
Debate is a method of interactive and
representational argument. Talking about issues and trying to figure out how to
solve them, makes it easier for us to handle the issues better when they arise.
Keeping this in mind, debate competitions are held at Arwachin International
School every year to give the students the tools they need to be more
successful. Debating helps the students to enhance their critical thinking
skill. It also improves their speaking skill and makes them more confident.

auditorium. The motion for the debate was:
