THE FINAL VICTORY FOR THE SJC DEBATE TEAM.
Greetings my fellow debaters! The Nationals are finally over and that means its time to party!!..or study for the mid year exams, which ever fits you best.
So let me give you as short summary about the finals which was held at Jurong JC.
The Motion: This house believes that the war on terror has been counter productive. (proposition)
SJC was against Jurong secondary school. Te debate flew by so fast and the next thing you knew, it was time to announce the winner.
But before that, they announced the results for the top 20 best speakers for the whole competition. They were more than 100 speakers and we are proud to say that our team clinched the TOP 3 SPOTS!! 3rd place went to Meira, 2nd place went to Andrea and 1st place went to Flora! This individual awards was based on the preliminary rounds.
After that, they announced the best speaker for the finals, which was our very own physco Meira! That was such an achievement as SJC yet again stole the best speakers awards from EVERY SINGLE round since th nationals started.
Finally...they announced the winning school...which was SJC! Duh, its us!
After all the endless trainings and practice, we have indeed achieve our ultimate goal, to win the nationals, despite being a very new club. We have only been around for 5 or 6 months people! This was also Andrea's and Meira's LAST debate with us as they will be graduating soon.
Andrea says,"Hello everyone. It's been an amazing few months with the school team, training and goofing around everyday. Its sad that it has come to an end. And flora is scary, she keeps on scolding us for being born so early.haha. anyway, i hope the best for you guys and the next goal is to gain more experience for competitive debating and maintain our win for the nationals next year.You have an awesome coach, ms naz..who is about to give birth soon. Well, anyway, we will be seeing you guys once our 'O' Levels are over. Debate Camp/Chalet? Bye :-) "
Meira says" I will thank all of you soon"
Amongst it all, we also have to thank Mano, our ex-student and president of the SJC student council for giving up her holidays to come and train us. She has just started ploy at NP, doing business so we wish her all the best.
Good luck everyone for the coming examinations and we have yet to have a welcome party for our sec ones. Remember, SJC is family but the SJC debate cca is a tighter family. see you guys soon and take care :-)
