St. Cat's team in Durham novice final

A team from the St. Catherine's British Embassy School made it to the novice final of the Durham Schools competition! Tanya Sheehan and Marietta Vavlides managed to gather 10 points in the preliminary rounds breaking in their very first international tournament. Tanya was also the 3rd best novice speaker of the competition.

This is yet another success for St. Catherine's younger speakers, after dominating the International Competition for Young Debaters regional preliminaries in Athens. The school seems quite capable of keeping up its excellent results, which include outstanding displays at the Forensics tournaments and winning finals and Best Speaker trophies at the Deree Invitational tournaments.

The Durham Schools tournament is one of the most prestigious events in the British circuit. The pre-released motion was that This House would reform the Gender Recognition Act to allow all individuals to self-certify their gender and the CA was ex-Durham debater, Colletta Smith, a former EUDC Grand Final judge and EUDC semi-finalist and top 10 speaker.

The overall tournament winners were Cheney A (Emily Fernandes and Elizabeth Romanis), while the best speaker on the tab was Matthew Handley (SFX A). For the final tab of the event, click here.
