Third edition of English debating contest

Third edition of our debating contest in English, which is slowly turning into a tradition!

The qualifiers took place on 1st April and opposed 6 teams of 2nde students. The 2L2 and the 2ES teams have made it to the finals, after winning their debates which revolved around beauty contests that should be banned and interactions between students and teachers on networking sites.

We were lucky enough, once more, to count on a very professional and dedicated jury, made up of Dr Gerhardt from the University of Saarland, Frau Scholtes from the Deutsch-Amerikanisches Institut and our very own Frau Carmen Becker and Jessica Schuhmacher, our New-Zealand assistant.

The audience was very vocal and the students showed great support to their teams. As for the debaters, they gave their best and managed to impress M. Schneider, our new French teacher who used to teach in an English international school, and is therefore used to attending debating contests. He declared that our students made a very favourable impression upon him.

Well done to everybody involved in the contest: jury members, debaters, timekeepers, caretakers, Heads and last but not least to the colleagues who help with and support this initiative. The best of luck to the finalists who will have to hone their skills to try and win the contest on 30th April!
