"While most are dreaming of success, winners wake-up and work hard to achieve it."
Apeejay International School, Noida hosted an inter school debate competition for classes 9-12th on August 31, 2017 to celebrate their founders Day. Twenty eight Schools from various parts of Delhi participated in this competition.
The topic tabled before the students was "Social Media Activism: Only Hype and no Bite." The time limit for the same was 3 minutes and the parameters for judgement were content, expressions, intonations, confidence and relevance. Our Columban participants Abhilash Jena, X-C and Aryan Sirsikar, X-B spoke fervently on the issue "for and against" the motion respectively. The participants citied examples from real life which made the topic more relevant and justifiable. Their confidence and expression were appreciable.
Participation in this debate was indeed a good exposure for our students as it is said "In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest."
