On December 10, 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 conducted a 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽/𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 in preparation for the upcoming Debate Competition! Before we set our minds for a battle of debate, a proper discussion of rules, flow, tips, and regulations must be given to our attendees!🗣️🤩

The resource speaker, 𝐌𝐬. 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐄. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧, had discussed the preliminaries of the 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮-𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲. She gave emphasis on proper usage of terms, as well as giving the attendees an example with a hint of humor, making the whole session enjoyable!

For further understanding, 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘬-𝘶𝘱 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘦 for the participants were made! Giving us a glimpse of 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 with their 𝙧𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙!

Truly an 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 awaits for our competitors! May the knowledge provided by Ms. Chin and our beloved speakers be useful for the days to come!🤗👏

On September 19, 2024, the Elite Debate Club proudly took the stage and was officially inducted during the RHS Mass Induction Ceremony. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey ahead as we prepare to engage in meaningful debates, share knowledge, and sharpen our skills through a series of workshops and activities. We are eager to host events that challenge students to think critically, speak confidently, and articulate their ideas with clarity and conviction.

As a club, we recognize the importance of our role within the school community, and we are dedicated to serving with excellence, integrity, and passion. Through our debates, we hope to inspire thoughtful dialogue, promote diverse perspectives, and encourage healthy discourse. We believe that debate is more than just arguing; it’s about listening, learning, and growing together.

We look forward to a year filled with opportunities for growth and collaboration, and we are excited to contribute to the development of future leaders and changemakers. Rest assured, we will give our best effort to make an impact, both within the club and in the wider community. Let the debates begin! 🗣️🎙️
