A commendable performance made the Debating Team of TCK Kandy, take pride in their efforts at the Inter-school debating championship organised by the APIIT Law school, held on the 8th, 9th and 15th of June 2024.
The team, captained by Mast. Thesath Keppetiyagama along with Mast. Sanchitha Wickrama, Nethula Hettihewage and Shahrukh Fairooz performed with great success, remaining unbeaten in the preliminary rounds of the tournament and entered out rounds breaking 1st.
The team victoriously made to the finals of the competition after surreal performances in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals, triumphing over teams of Dharmaraja College and St’ Bridget’s Convent, and after an extremely tensed and heated debate against Royal College Colombo at the APIIT premises, They emerged runners up.
