INTER-HOUSE
DEBATE COMPETITION

Debate is an organized
clash of good ideas. It is probably one of the best learning tools one could
possibly have. Keeping this in mind, debate competitions are held in Arwachin
International School every year to improve students’ analytical and language
skills.
This year the Annual
Inter-house Debate Competition for classes VI-VIII was held on 1st
September 2016 in the school auditorium. Students debated in two categories over a subject
of contemporary relevance namely, ‘Should Odd-Even Rule be implemented in other
Indian States?’ The occasion was graced with the presence of Mrs Gracy Peter,
the Principal. Mrs Kanika Tiwari, Mrs Bhawna Sharma and Mrs Natasha Sharma
presided over as the panelists.

All the participants
presented unique, thought-provoking and mind-boggling ideas to convince the
audience with their opinions, confidence, voice clarity and body language. The
interjector round too brought forth some intricate and underlying issues that
awakened the thoughts of the debaters. The adjudicators as well as the audience
