Debating Club participated in the John Barsby Debating Tournament recently,
with some impressive results.
The team of Kris Baker and Nick McLean (right) placed first in the senior category, an especially commendable performance in that both entered in the junior category but who were then asked to compete in the senior division.

Final Examinations
| The
last week of the term sees students busy reviewing for their final examinations.
If the weather is warm, the lawn areas around the school soon fill up with
students toting textbooks, notes, and memory aids. A few clouds, and all
activity relocates to the Houses, classrooms, and quiet spots inside the
campus buildings.
Students
write final examinations in all regular classroom subjects. These are taken
in the sports center (for grades 8-11) or in the auditorium. The final
internal examination will be Saturday whereas the final provinmcial examination
will be Tuesday (29th June).
