Debating Team Competes at Queen's

Kerstin Wyndham-West
More than 250 students competed in the Annual Queen’s University Debating Tournament in Kingston this past weekend. The performances varied stylistically from other tournaments CDS students typically participate in, as these focused on rapid-fire, content-heavy speeches.

Students also attended debate workshops as part of the experience. Ten CDS students participated in the tournament: Georgie Tsiolis (9), Jack McDonald (9), Maddy Ganzhorn (9), Maeve Tebbutt (10), Olivia Railton (12), Billy Tsiolis (9), Wren Bahen (12), Abilene Jull (8), Anna Croxon (9), Mark Carpenter (12).
 
Although none of our students made it to the Top 8, all of them performed well, and it was a wonderful skill building experience.

Thanks to Ms. Sagalina Doré for chaperoning this weekend.

Land Acknowledgment

The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
