12 March 2026

On Thursday 12 March, our debating teams competed in Round 2 of the National Debating League, which was hosted at Edgemead High School, and we are very proud to report some excellent results. Our junior team, consisting of Sahil Khalfey, Joshua Fried and Isaac Frankel, debated the motion “This House would ban beauty contests like Miss South Africa.” Bishops debated on the Proposition side against Tygerberg High School. After a strong and well-structured debate, Bishops won the round. An extra congratulations goes to Sahil Khalfey, who was awarded Best Speaker in the debate. Our senior Ironman team, Hamaad Badroodien and Cruz Sun, debated the motion "This House believes that sporting leagues should ban foreign government ownership of teams.” Once again, Bishops argued on the Proposition side against Tygerberg High School. The team delivered an excellent debate and Bishops also won this round. Hamaad Badroodien was named Best Speaker for the debate. Congratulations to all our debaters on representing the school so well, and we look forward to seeing how they perform in the next round.
