THREE students of the St Georges High School have created history recently when the trio carried the school’s debating team through to the regional finals of the JOF Haynes Debating competition for the first time.

It is also the first time the school is participating in the competition and according to school teacher, Latoya Rodrigues, the team managed to overcome stiff competition along the way to the finals where they will meet the Christ Church Secondary School this week.
The Fourth Form students, Ezra Gibson, the first speaker; Leah De Arella, the second speaker; and Amberly Amernauth, the third speaker, have been impressive thus far, Rodrigues said.

The schools have been placed in different categories according to the grade of the schools and thus far, St Georges managed to overcome teams from St Winifreds, Caramel Secondary, Houston Secondary and the Cummings Lodge Secondary school.

The dedicated and disciplined team from St Georges High has been commended for their performances thus far and according to the teachers of the school, their success so far has lifted the spirit of the student population of the city school.

Rodrigues said that the fact that the team made it to the finals speaks about the changing fortunes of the school. She expressed hope that the school maintains the performance in the competition in the future and also in other areas of learning.
