Three Debaters Competing at Worlds in Australia
Good luck to Sarah Croxon '24, Ethan Wahba '24 and Millie Steinmann '25 and their coaches Ms. Wyndham-West and Mr. Saklica who have landed in Sydney and will be competing at the 2024 World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships (#WIDPSC) in Canberra, Australia starting this Sunday!
This is the 17th consecutive year that CDS has qualified at least one student to compete against some of the top high school speakers and debaters from around the world.
Fun fact: Mr. Saklica is a CDS graduate from 2006 and remembers competing in debate as a finalist at Internationals in 2004 in Vancouver, 2005 in St. Catherine's and 2006 in Montreal!
This year, there will be 128 students representing 15 countries at the 36th WIDPSC held between April 14-20. All three of our students have to participate in four events each: Debate, Impromptu Speaking, Persuasive Speaking and Interpretive Reading. We wish them all the best!
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.
