8th Inter-government Secondary School English Debating Competition

The Grand Finals of the 8th Inter-government Secondary School English Debating Competition was successfully held on 5th July, 2017 at Homantin Government Secondary School. On that day, we were honoured to have Ms. Sandy WONG JP, Past President of Hong Kong Federation of Women Lawyer, as the Chief Adjudicator and Mr. Kong Yick Cheong, Vice-Chairman of the Association of Principals of Government Secondary Schools, as the guest of honour. They both gave some invaluable comments to the participants and they were surprised by the excellent performance of the students, who can present their arguments and defend their position in a logical and polite manner.
