ENGLISH DEBATE The inter house debate competition for the Juniors, Middle and Senior Secondary school (i.e. Std. VII to XII) was held on 16th April, 2016. The format of the debate was a bit different. The English department had also taken care of “Marshaling the Rebuttal Round” making it more interesting. The topics given were well thought of by the department where principal and vice principal also extended a helping hand. There were 3 groups with 2 participants from each house. The topics were as follows: Junior Class VII and VIII Children should do chores at home Middle Classes IX and X Fashion is our identity Senior Class XI and XII Online shopping is a good option The competition was adjudged by 3 judges. Mrs. Tezender, Mr. Osbone and Mr. Pawan. It was compiled by Mr. Rane, Mr. Sachin, Mr. Jayesh, Mrs. Shalvi, and Mrs. Srividya. This program was started with the lighting of the “Lamp of Knowledge” by principal sir. It was evident that the teams were well prepared and they used various skills like overstatement, definition, irony etc. to convince the audience. The participants, armed with statistics and data made their arguments more emphatic with their righteous facial expressions, body movement and gestures. All the four teams exhibited great oratorical skills. The competition was as expected laced with more nail biting moments and an intense face off. We aim big to achieve big. SPEAKERS ARE NOT BORN …………… THEY ARE MADE.
