Debating

On Saturday the 11th of May rounds 4-6 of the Senior SACEE debating took place at Brescia House. The first debate that took place was under the motion of ‘This House Would adopt a federal form of government for South Africa’, with Brescia as team opposition against Trinity House. Brescia won this debate and congratulations to Wandile Dlamini who won best speaker in this debate. The second debate was under the motion of ‘This House Would ban religious organizations from advertising in public spaces’, with Brescia as team proposition against Maragon. As this was a closed round we are still waiting for the results of this debate. The third and final debate was under the motion of ‘This House Would privatise the South African police force’, with Brescia as team proposition against Fourways B. This was also a closed round and we are still waiting for the results. A big thank you must go out to all the girls who came to support and help with the hosting, the event was a tremendous success. The girls who came were a part of the floor debates and after 6 rounds these girls are the number 1 floor; congratulations to everyone.

Catholic School Sunday

Catholic School Sunday was an opportunity for our school to promote Catholic Education generally, work with the Bryanston parish to which our learners belong and participate in the 10.00 am Mass. It provided a chance for the school learners and staff who are already part of the community to come together in faith to unite in showcasing Brescia House and demonstrate the Ethos of being part of a Catholic school.
