Debate Spotlight Evening – 14 August 2026

On Friday, 14 August 2026, the MultiPurpose Room (MPR) was alive with anticipation as eight determined teams took to the stage for the Debate Spotlight Evening. Learners demonstrated their skill in structured argument, engaging the audience with sharp reasoning and confident delivery.

The evening commenced with the Junior Division, where four teams debated the role of artificial intelligence in education and the workplace. Their spirited exchanges highlighted both the opportunities and challenges posed by emerging technologies.

Social Media Chat Groups

Social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram have made communication faster and more convenient, allowing information to be shared instantly. While these platforms can be beneficial, they can also be misused, resulting in the rapid spread of rumours, misinformation and unverified claims. This can cause unnecessary anxiety, damage reputations and disrupt the harmony of families, institutions and communities.

Triumph for Our Model United Nations Team

This past weekend, three of our learners — Faatimah Limbada, Ismaeel Essack, and Zainab Khan — proudly represented the school at the local Model United Nations (MUN) assembly. Competing against several schools, they delivered a strong and well‑argued debate, earning the Best Delegation Teamwork Award.

The conference gave them the chance to meet peers from other schools and to explore real‑world politics. The urgent topic under discussion was Food insecurity and Famine in war‑stricken areas.

Speech Afternoon – July 2026
