(Every Thursday at 4pm: 45 minutes - this Club needs a minimum of 3 enrolled students to start) Kindly note that this club is for students who have prior knowledge on debate. Please enrol to the "introduction Debate" course first, where they will be equipped with the basics of debate before joining the Club
