S.5 Inter-class Debate Competition

The annual S.5 Inter-class Debate Competition recently reached its conclusion, marking the end of a successful tournament involving all classes in the year group. Following a series of rigorous preliminary rounds and hard-fought victories in the semi-finals, Class 5C and Class 5D progressed to the Grand Final.

The final motion, "This House would ban unpaid internships," was carefully selected to align with the Workplace Communication module currently being studied by the S.5 cohort. This allowed students to apply their classroom learning to a formal competitive setting. In a heated and closely contested debate, 5C narrowly edged out 5D to claim the championship title.

A key feature of the afternoon was the Floor Questions session. During this period, members of the audience—comprising S.4 and S.5 students—addressed the two teams directly. This interactive element demonstrated the high level of engagement and critical thinking across the entire year level.

We are proud to note that the competition was a comprehensive learning experience for all. Every class was actively involved in the tournament’s progress through:

• Inclusive Participation: Different students represented their classes in the various rounds leading up to the final.
• Classroom Collaboration: Students engaged in mock debates and peer-review sessions during lessons.
• Research Support: Classmates worked collectively behind the scenes to craft arguments and verify evidence.

We congratulate Class 5C on their success and commend all Form 5 students for their enthusiastic participation throughout the competition.

中五級班際辯論比賽

一年一度的中五級班際辯論比賽圓滿落幕。在經歷了多輪激烈的初賽及準決賽後，5C 班與 5D 班憑藉出色的表現脫穎而出，晉身總決賽。

本次總決賽的辯題為「本院應禁止無薪實習」，選題旨在配合中五級現正修讀的「職場溝通」單元，讓學生能將課堂所學實踐於正式比賽中。在整場扣人心弦、難分高下的辯論中，5C 班最終略勝一籌，奪得冠軍寶座。

當天下午的亮點之一是「觀眾提問」環節。由中四及中五級學生組成的觀眾群直接向兩支參賽隊伍提問。這項互動環節充分展現了章中人高度的參與感及卓越的批判性思考能力。

我們欣見是次比賽為全體同學提供了全面的學習經歷。每一班都積極參與其中，體現了以下團隊精神：

• 全員參與：在通往決賽的各個階段中，各班均派出不同的代表出賽。
• 課堂協作：同學在課堂上進行模擬辯論及同儕互評。
• 資料蒐集支援：幕後功臣們集思廣益，共同構思論點並核實證據。

本校在此衷心祝賀 5C 班奪冠，並讚揚全體中五同學在比賽過程中的熱誠參與。
