Highlight

Selamat Siang,

This week, our Year 5/6 students demonstrated their love of learning and remarkable bravery as they presented their debates. It was inspiring to see them go head-to-head with their peers, passionately and respectfully persuading their audience with well-crafted arguments.

The students worked tirelessly, dedicating themselves to researching, writing, and editing their debates. They incorporated sophisticated vocabulary and persuasive techniques, showing both creativity and critical thinking. 

In addition, they learned how to structure and deliver compelling rebuttals, a skill that required both quick thinking and a deep understanding of their topics.

Their enthusiasm and determination were evident, as they navigated challenging topics with confidence and respect. We are so proud of their efforts and look forward to seeing them continue to grow as thoughtful and articulate speakers!

Hope you all have a great week ahead!
