Last weekend, Grade 11 student, Adhya Chandradat, travelled to Winnipeg to compete in the National Public Speaking and Debating Championships held at St. John’s-Ravenscourt School.
Her persuasive speech on the dangers of artificially scented products was particularly well received and her humorous interpretive reading got rave reviews.
Adhya finished in the top third at this highly competitive tournament with over 60 competitors, and she will be heading to Bristol in the U.K. in mid-April to compete in the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships representing CDS and Team Canada.
Congratulations on an excellent performance, Adhya!
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.
Founded in 1972, The Country Day School is a co-educational private school offering programs in JK-12 and located on 100 acres north of Toronto in King.
