Debaters win Schools League

The results of all the Debating tournaments organised under the auspices of the Debaters’ Council over the year count towards the Schools League. The top four teams qualify for the play-offs to determine the best school team of the year. Moir qualified for the play-offs after winning a series of prestigious competitions, including the Sri Lanka Schools’ Debating Championships and the tournaments organised by Ladies’ College and Royal College.

In the play-offs, our team defeated the other three top schools in the league – Ladies’ College, Royal College and CIS – to reach the final. All the decisions were unanimous, with all three judges ruling in our favour. In the final against CIS, another unanimous decision led to Moir being crowned as Champions and the winners of the 2024 Schools League. Debating Club President Okitha Karunadhara won the Best Speaker Award, fitting recognition of his huge contribution to the team over the year.
