Debaters leave for Cape Coast

The Prempeh debating team leaves tomorrow for Cape Coast, where they will compete against several schools. The trip is to prepare the boys for the national debate championship which begins on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, the very day that the football team begins defense of the national football title.

The debaters will compete against Holy Child Girls, St. Augustine's, Aggrey Memorial and the famous Adisadel.

Wesley Girls sent a letter to Prempeh that they are not ready yet so they cannot compete with us at this time.

It may be recalled that in August 2005, prempeh.org sent as part of our Operation Tripple Crown sponsorship package funds for our debaters to tour Cape Coast with our school quiz team. That money is finally being used finally for that trip after the debaters trained at school for about 2 months.

The twelve selected quiz contestants will join them on the trip.

William Demitiah's experience will prove vital to the debating team. As a mere form one boy two years ago, he helped Prempeh win the national trophy. Now, as an Assistant Senior Prefect, his debating skills has certainly improved.

This is the year Prempeh is targeting three national trophies -- a quest that Prempeh.org has named the Operation Tripple Crown. We want to win the national Independence debating competition, the Milo national football championship and the national Science & Maths Quiz championship.
