Finalists, Finalists!
Debate
On October 11, BDS hosted the semifinals of the Acorn Cup. The Senior teams of Belgrano Day School, Southern Cross School, Colegio Champagnat and St. Andrew’s Scots School participated in this round.
Our team of S6 students, Mercedes Mariño, Lucas Reynoso and Alejo González Virgili, debated – and won – against Southern Cross. The motion was: This House would allow prisoners to submit to drug testing in order to gain a reduction in their sentences, and BDS was on the opposition side.
Very soon, BDS will be meeting St. Andrew’s Scots School in the finals of the Acorn Cup.
Congratulations to both the students and their teachers…and good luck!
