2023 UBC Spring High School Tournament
Vancouver Debate Academy had an incredible weekend at the UBC Debate Society’s High School Tournament (HST). With awards in every category and dominating performances all throughout the 2 day tournament, our students managed to win the coveted Senior BP Championship, and broke into the semifinals as the top two teams in the Junior CNDF Category with an undefeated preliminary record of 5-0. Amidst the province’s most competitive schools and academies, our students showed incredible discipline and courage by having attained several speaker breaks in both the categories.
