SJI Debaters Spar Online During Pandemic

Even as the pandemic continues to plague the world and hamper our daily school life, the SJI debaters continued to interact and reach out to fellow debaters from other schools at the SJI inter-school debate sessions.

Our junior debaters from Years 1 and 2 met their counterparts from Singapore American School (SAS) at SJI's Inter-School Debate III on 23 March. This was an impromptu debate where debaters from both schools argued for and against the following motion: "This House believes that major film and television awards should abolish award categories which are separated by gender".

On 20 April, our Josephian debaters met the team from Zhong Hua Secondary School (ZHSS) at SJI's 4th Inter-School Debate. SJI was represented by Debaters from the FPAM and OPAM academies. Our debaters argued well and were commended for their abilities.

The sessions were organised by the SJI Debate Society - Pham Ngoc Diep (President), Alwyn Choo Khai Hong (Vice-President) and Harith Zaydan Bin Imran (JDEP Coordinator), and supported by several enthusiastic Josephian observers.
