Congratulations to Alex Logan and Annie Lu: This past weekend, two grade eleven students, Alex Logan and Annie Lu, virtually went to the chilly province of Alberta to attend the British Parliamentary National Debate Championships. We are very proud to announce that they overall placed as the second top team in the whole country! On top of that, both Alex and Annie impressively placed within the top five speakers as well. These results have qualified them to compete at international tournaments held by Oxford and Cambridge University next spring. We want to congratulate both students and wish them luck at their future competitions!
