The King’s College Debating Society has been active this term. The school debated against Dulwich College on the subject of animal testing and against the International School of Madrid on the topic of bullfighting. Suggestions for debates next term include the attitude of the French government towards women wearing traditional Islamic dress and their expulsion of Roma people. Debating societies have a long tradition at independent schools in Britain and the USA. They build confidence, logical thought and eloquence among everyone that takes part.
