INTER-HOUSE

Debate is an organized clash of
good ideas. It is probably one of the best learning tools one could possibly
have. Keeping this in mind, debate competitions are held in Arwachin
International School every year to improve students’ analytical and language
skills.
This year the Annual

Students debated in two categories over a subject of contemporary
relevance namely, ‘Reservation is
killing geniuses’. The occasion was graced with the presence of our

All the participants presented
unique, thought-provoking and mind-boggling ideas to convince the audience with
their opinions, confidence, voice clarity and body language. The interjector
round too brought forth some intricate and underlying issues that awakened the
thoughts of the debaters. The adjudicators as well as the audience were
