QVS Profound Orators @ Behes
It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.
A debate competition is a way for students to articulate their opinions on a given topic. It is an opportunity to build children’s confidence and help them overcome the fear of public speaking. With the same motive, QVS organised Aurora Behes from 15th to 17th of October, 2022 to engage students in relevant thinking and put their creativity into practice. Through the active debates, the participants were able to develop rational thinking, problem-solving skills and critical reasoning. The students participated with zeal and enthusiasm. The school won the Lions Division Champion trophy and the Runners-up trophy. They also won the Cubs Division Champion Trophy and the Runners-up trophy. Congratulations to the following achievers!
