This week, Kristin participated in the inaugural Auckland French Debate Competition, hosted by the Alliance Francaise of Auckland.

 

Our two Kristin teams competed against 18 other teams from seven schools across the Auckland region, including St Cuthbert’s College, Diocesan School for Girls, Baradene College, Auckland Grammar School, St Mary’s College, Takapuna Grammar School and St Kentigern College.

 

We are thrilled to report that Kristin Team 1, made up of Owen Yan (Year 12) and Sabrina Liu (Year 12), won the title of Auckland French Debate champions after defeating Kristin Team 2, made up of Tiffany Li (Year 11) and Isabelle Ning (Year 11), in the final!
 
Having both of our teams in the final is a testament to the exceptional calibre of our students, who debated with flair and passion on topics ranging from the environment, the dangers of artificial intelligence and the need to ban social media networks for those under the age of 16.
 

The teams dedicated months of hard work to practise and refine their French debating skills, and we are very proud of their outstanding achievement.

 

Félicitations to all team members!
