This December, our school has been exceptionally active in debating. We took part in several tournaments and, in addition to sharpening our skills, we enjoyed the experience and received highly positive feedback from the juries.
Firstly, we participated in the debate competition organised by the Government of Navarre, where the motion was: \u201cSocial Media should be forbidden for the under-16s.\u201d On the 11th of December, a team of students \u2014 Eneko, Yasm\u00edn, Hugo, Marianna, and Yasemin \u2014 selected from all 2\u00ba ESO groups and prepared by Rafael Maceira, represented the school. They performed with great commitment, gained valuable experience, and showcased excellent teamwork throughout the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 12th of December, it was the turn of the team representing 3rd and 4th ESO and prepared by Beronike Molano: Mateo Echegoyen, Pablo Irigoyen, Bader Imiri, Daniela Bustamante, and Nahia Rodr\u00edguez. After a demanding and closely contested round, the team delivered an outstanding performance and proudly reached the semifinals! This success would not have been possible without the support of other students who, although not competing directly, played a key role in preparation. We would like to thank Vera Rodr\u00edguez, Aitana De Miguel Maule\u00f3n and Marwa Boucherit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, on the 16th and 17th of December, our Bachillerato students took the stage at the XI San Cernin Debate in English competition. This year\u2019s motion posed a real challenge: Are young people truly aware of the dangers of taking drugs?
The excitement among our students was palpable, and we proudly fielded two teams: Fiji \u2014 Anne Chen, Xinjie Chocarro, Anais Mart\u00edn, Javier Ventura, and Markel Juango \u2014 and Canada \u2014 Asunci\u00f3n Bindang, Emma Twene, Mirabell Augustt, and Oscar Odigie. Two teacher looked after the teams this year: Maria Prieto and Agnes Felczak. Both teams grew stronger and more confident with each debate, demonstrating skill, determination, and teamwork every step of the way.
After a long and intense competition, and having defeated three other teams, the Canada team faced a tough showdown against Barbados (Miavalles Red\u00edn School). Despite being narrowly eliminated, they finished proudly in third place, a fantastic achievement for the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
