Team Wales have STORMED into the final of the World School Debating Championships taking place in Cape Town, beating England 6:1. This is the furthest they have ever come in the competition and the result is particularly impressive given that 3  out of the team of 4 debaters are new to the World’s competition! (Team members are David of Bishop of Llandaff, Amy of Y Pant Comprehensive, Helen of Haberdasher’s Monmouth School for Girls and Piers of Monmouth School)

Wales won 6 of their preliminary rounds and you can see the knockout round results here: http://www.sa-debating.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Knockout-semis.pdf

They will be debating against Scotland on Thursday 26th January in the final.  Please keep your fingers crossed for Team Wales!  The motion will be:

This house regrets South Africa's decision to use the Truth and Reconciliation Commission rather than prosecuting perpetrators of crimes committed under Apartheid
