“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.” – Colin Powell

YES !!!! We are talking about The Debate Championship held today at Shrine Vailankanni Senior Secondary School. Students displayed strategy particularly for Rebuttals. They put in enormous effort in preparation to display strength in Content, Diction, Language Competence and Clarity. And we are proud to have provided that platform for the students of Chennai.

We had nearly 30 schools from every nook and corner of Chennai – like students from GTA Vidya Mandir, Neelankarai, Headstart Learning Centre, Shollinganallur to APL Global, Thoraipakkam and Pon Vidyashram, Kolapakkam. Distance did not matter for the students were passionate about displaying their debating skills.
