Junior Novice Provincial Debate 2018

BH PARTICIPATES IN JUNIOR NOVICE PROVINCIAL DEBATE

By Carissa (Nikkel) Balcaen '02, Debate & Public Speaking Teacher

Congratulations to all Junior Novice Provincial Debate competitors who participated in the provincial tournament on May 31, 2018. They became experts on the benefits and disadvantages of streaming students in classes based on ability, They noted that it would be very difficult to make a decision about how to structure classes if they were the school administrators because there are positives and negatives for each option.

This tournament was the culmination of the debate season.

All those who competed in this tournament were in their first year of debate, especially grades 6 and 7 students. For many enthusiastic participants, this was their very first tournament. Debate is a challenging sport of critical thinking in the moment, the agility of thought, respectful disagreement, persuasive language, and passionate discourse. These debaters truly displayed the attributes of a BH graduate. Well done, girls!

Congratulations to Grade 6 student Zelal Emre, who received the John Robinson Top Speaker Overall award!
