In September, I coached a wonderful group of year 5's from Henry Park school for the raffles institution primary debate competition. Having only a week to prepare, they performed above and beyond and made the quarterfinals in 7th place. By the skin of their teeth I must say.
It was my first time that I've managed to break through to the elimination rounds in 2 years of coaching and it sure was a great feeling. Although they lost the quarterfinals, one of the team members came in sixth place overall (out of at least 100 students who competed) in the speaker rankings!
Belated congratulations to the team- Titus, Ren Ying, Conrad, Rohin and Brandon (and not forgetting Noelle who was part of the research group.
