Every year, there are two debates each term and those teams which win both enter the regional finals. In the 2017-2018 HKSSDC Term 2 Competition, the completion deadline for Round 1 was Friday 2 March and for Round 2, it was late May. Those teams in the regional level finals need to complete their debate by the deadline of Friday 18 May 2018. Debating aims to give students the necessary experience to be able to argue the pros and cons of current local and international issues as well as contribute more in NSS Debating module lessons and give better responses to related DSE examination questions. Planning for and competing in debates along with taking part in HKSSDC workshops helps get students' confidence and skills up quickly. Our school team has improved a lot throughout this year, our students have competed against S.4 students and senior form students, too.
