INTER HOUSE DEBATE 2026-27
A good debate is a clean combat of minds. St.Michael’s School held its highly anticipated Inter House Debate for Classes IX -XII on 17th July, 2026. The competition involved active participation from four different houses within the school: St. Andrew’s, St. David’s, St.Patrick’s, and St. George’s. Every house was represented by two members, one in favour of the motion, one against it. The event showcased the impressive talents of our students as they engaged in thought-provoking debates on the pertinent topic. The Debate aimed to foster critical thinking, public speaking skills, and team work among our students.
The topic for the debate was “Every Student should Participate in Sports.” The event commenced with the welcoming of the esteemed judges Mr. Sanjib Kumar Roy and Mrs. Swagata Chattopadhyay, two senior English teachers from St. Peter’s School and Ms. Debrupa Ray from Bidhan School, Durgapur. The rules and regulations of the debate were explained, and the speakers spoke for and against the topic. The debaters put forward their views confidently and were extremely well-researched about the topic. All the participants were pupils with equal calibre and potential but in the end, some stood out shining brighter than the others.
The Best Speaker was awarded to Rohit Mondal (Class 12C) of St. Andrew’s House while the first Runner-up speaker was awarded to Idhant Bhowmik (Class 10C) St. Andrew’s House. First Runner up team was St.Patrick’s House and St. Andrew’s House won the debate. The event concluded with our honourable Principal Sir, Mr. Charles Joseph Nyss felicitating the judges and appreciating the efforts of the participants. The judges gave their valuable feedback to the speakers to guide them to perform better in the future. The event was a great learning experience and a truly memorable one.
