The North London and Hertfordshire French Debating Competition, hosted at Habs Girls’ School, brought together some of the most talented young linguists from across the region. Contestants from Highgate School, UCS, RGS High Wycombe, Aylesbury School, Wycombe Abbey and Habs Girls’ School gathered for an evening of thought-provoking debate and linguistic excellence.
Representing Habs Boys was a team that demonstrated both skill and resilience throughout the competition. Facing five challenging debates – including two where they had only 15 minutes to prepare their arguments – the team impressed judges and competitors alike with their persuasive reasoning and implementation of the French language.
Their strong performances led them to the final round, where they faced their equally talented peers from Habs Girls. In a heated 10-minute debate on the motion La colonisation d’un pays peut être justifiée (Colonising a country can be justified), both teams delivered compelling arguments. After a fiercely contested exchange, Habs Girls narrowly claimed victory, with Habs Boys securing an impressive second place.
It was a fantastic achievement for Habs Boys, who demonstrated their debating prowess at the highest level. Their performance highlights the strength of French debating at the school, and we look forward to seeing them build on this success in future competitions.
Congratulations to the team on their outstanding achievement!
