Berbice High School debate team advances to finals in Ministry of Agriculture competition

Berbice – Berbice High School is celebrating another milestone as its outstanding Debate Team secured a decisive victory in the semi-finals of the Ministry of Agriculture Debate Competition. The young debaters impressed judges and spectators alike with their poise, confidence, and mastery of arguments, advancing them to the competition’s final round.
The team’s performance highlighted not only their intellectual skill but also their dedication and hard work. Each member displayed remarkable clarity in presenting their case and precision in rebuttals, demonstrating the results of rigorous preparation and unwavering perseverance.
“Our students continue to raise the BHS flag high with every debate,” said a spokesperson from the school. “Their success is a reflection of not only their talent but also their commitment to excellence and teamwork.”
Much of the team’s success has been attributed to the guidance of the English Department, whose mentorship has been instrumental in shaping the debaters’ skills and strategy.

The school community is thrilled by the team’s achievement, viewing it as a testament to the culture of excellence Berbice High School has nurtured over the years. “Today, we celebrate more than just a win; we celebrate the spirit of collaboration, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of excellence,” the school added.

Several school debate competitions related to agriculture and food security have been organised or co-hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, often as part of Agriculture Month celebrations.
