What a weekend for the PDS Debate Club! From March 7-8, our squad of 30 brilliant students and 4 dedicated adjudicators took over the World Scholar’s Cup 2026: Bangkok Regional Round at DBS, and the results were nothing short of legendary.

The most impressive stat? All 10 of our teams (3 Junior, 7 Senior) have officially qualified for the Global Round! 
To say I’m proud would be an understatement. Watching you all navigate complex motions, scribble through the writing rounds, and smash the Scholar’s Bowl with such wit and teamwork was the highlight of my year. Your hard work, late-night prep sessions, and relentless curiosity paid off.
PDS Scholars, you are a force to be reckoned with. Next stop: Globals!
