Massive Win for PDS Debaters at TWSDC 2026! 
What a weekend! Our debate warriors just got back from the Thailand World Schools Debating Championship 2026 (TWSDC), hosted by Triam Udom Suksa School from March 27-29.
Our squad of 24 students (7 teams) went head-to-head with 138 of the sharpest minds from 16 elite institutions, including heavyweights like Anglo Singapore, RIS, and Triam Udom. The competition was fierce, the arguments were spicy, and our PDS team definitely brought the heat! 
The Big WinsHuge shoutout to our teams who broke into the Quarterfinals (Main Break):
• Team PDS 1: Uran (M.2), Pearly (M.4), and Ashi (M.5)
• Team PDS 2: Pakorn (M.2), Pepp (M.5), and Putter (M.5)
And a special round of applause for our individual stars:
• Pakorn (M.2): Ranked 15th Best Speaker overall and officially selected for the Thailand National Pool Team! 
• Uran (M.2): Ranked 17th Best Speaker overall.
• Pearly (M.4): Ranked 9th Best Novice Speaker.
• Ashi (M.5): Ranked 13th Best Reply Speaker.
The Dream TeamNone of this would be possible without the dedication of our students across all grades (M.1 to M.5) and the leadership of Ajarn Nithiz Onkaewmanee and Ajarn Gary Sakuma.
Also, a big thank you to Kate (M.3) and JiaJia (M.4) for supporting as observers, and to ZhaoZhao (M.6), Ajarn Gary, P’ Chate #epts23, P’ Lukprai #epts24 and P’Thames #epts21, for stepping up as adjudicators!
We are so incredibly proud of every single one of you. Whether it was your first time on the mic or your tenth, you represented PDS with style and logic.
