GOING THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY ROUND.
Katok Sixth Form Centre’s Debate team consists of:
The main team:
*Jarrod Sim BE 8,
*Julius Hong BE 7, and
*Yusof Fadli AE 24
The reserves:
*Azeemah AE 3,
*Izzati BE 7, and
*Arafat BE 19
On the 6th of April, the debate team left school ground at 9 a.m along with the teachers in-charge to go to Sayyidina Ali Secondary School in Kuala Belait. After going in for registration, the team stayed there until six in the evening going through a mock debate with each and every other schools’ debate team.
The debate teams were put into two groups;
group 1 consisted of debate team from PTE Meragang, SMSA B, Sekolah Menengah Arab Laki-Laki and Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina Othman whereas PTEK, Maktab Duli, Maktab Sains and SMSA A presented group
2. Our debate team’s 1st debate was against Maktab Sains. PTEK as the opposition and won that round. PTEK, again as the opposition met Maktab Duli’s debate team in their
2nd round debating the topic “This house believes that reality Tv shows should be banned.” but alas PTEK lost.
Their 3rd round of debate was against SMSA A with the topic “This house believes that gossip is acceptable.”. PTEK held the role of opposition in this round too and won but apparently the debate between PTEK and SMSA A was put to a hold and continued the next day, which was on the 7th of April.
On that day, the team left school during break time and finished off their debate against SMSA A and waited for the announcement of which schools were going to the semi-finals -from Group 1, PTE Meragang and Sekolah Sayyidina Othman and from group 2 were Maktab Duli And PTEK.
To sum up the event that day, each debate team was given the knowledge of what topic they were going to debate on during the semi-final, who were they against and the venue of where the semi-final would be held. PTEK was going to go up against PTE Meragang and were given the role to oppose to the topic “This house believes that media abuses its power.”
