Congratulations to our students as Runner-Up team of today’s Debate Competition 🥳

Given the motion “ Gender Inequality is a major barrier to water sustainability in the Pacific “ their performance was truly impressive and was certainly not an easy topic to speak “ AGAINST” yet, they delivered their arguments with Courage, Clarity and Confidence .

A big Vinaka Vakalevu to all our Journalism students and friends for the Tremendous support and to everyone who came out to support the team and be part of the event .
