Exploring the World of Debating

5 February 2025

This week, we were thrilled to welcome one of our talented and generous parents, Mrs Khchao-Wood, who is an accomplished writer. Mrs Khchao-Wood joined us to lead engaging and dynamic debating workshops with our pupils.

The workshops were both fun and insightful, with debates on light-hearted topics like our favourite ice cream flavours. Pupils had the opportunity to practice presenting their arguments to the class while learning key skills for effective communication.

Mrs Khchao-Wood taught valuable techniques on how to that go beyond debates and can be used in everyday conversations. She encouraged pupils to think creatively and persuasively, setting thoughtful tasks such as convincing their families to dine at the pupils’ favourite restaurants.

We are excited that Mrs Khchao-Wood will be returning next week to continue the workshops. We can’t wait to see what exciting topics our pupils will explore next.

A huge thank you to Mrs Khchao-Wood for her time, expertise, and enthusiasm. She has inspired our pupils to think critically, listen carefully, and express themselves confidently.

Stay tuned for more updates from these incredible workshops!
