Congratulations to our Debaters!
Diviya Amarnath ‘25, Jack Brown ‘25 and Ananya Kapur ‘26 were in Bermuda last weekend competing in the 2024 International Independent Schools’ Public Speaking Competition (IISPSC).
This year's event was jointly hosted by Bermuda High School and Saltus Grammar School with students and coaches from 35 schools across Canada, the U.S., Bermuda and India competing in the four-day event.
CDS results were impressive with Jack qualifying and competing in two finals in extemporaneous and persuasive speaking and Ananya qualifying for finals in impromptu speaking.
At the awards ceremony, Jack won 3rd place for persuasive speaking and 1st place for extemporaneous speaking. He also qualified for the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships in Kuala Lumpur in April from these results (top 6 Canadian).
The combined CDS team of Diviya, Ananya and Jack were the 2nd place Canadian team. Their coaches Ms. Wyndham-West, Ms. Davidson and Mr. Robinson couldn’t be prouder!
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.
