European Union Thailand National Intervarsity Debate Championship

On August 1-4, 2018, the Panyarat High School Debate Team competed in the European Union Thailand National Intervarsity Debate Championships. This is the only University and High School competition in Thailand where in the preliminary rounds, high school teams compete versus university teams. Our students battled over 6 preliminary rounds. Our PHS 2 team of Sasina Janesiripanich, Chynna Denise Tan, and Arnencha Pradabkaeew defeated Chula 2 in the preliminary rounds—Chula 2 became the University Champions of the tournament. Unfortunately, they lost in the quarterfinals in an upset. PHS 3 and PHS 4 finished with three wins and three losses, with PHS 3 defeating the University team KMUTT who were quarterfinalists. For the judging core, Theethad Thipsoda become the youngest breaking judge in our school history—making the play-offs as a judge and as M2. Overall, the tournament was a rousing success for the Debate Team. Thank you to our administration, faculty, and staff for their continued support.
