Debate Tournaments
With a dedicated team of trainers, we invite committed debaters to join the ARCH team in experiential trips to overseas tournaments.
With these trips, we aim to broaden the learning horizon of our students and expose them to a competitive environment that will challenge them to strive and grow. Our debaters have had great successes with Oxford Schools and Asian Schools tournaments.
