The Dominica Grammar School, represented by Rene Talbert and Tzaddi Trocard, will attempt to dethrone the Orion Academy, represented by Madleah Fontaine and Jazz Maxwell, in the final debate of the Inter-Secondary Schools Debating Competition 2025 edition. The Dominica Grammar School has excelled in this debate series, securing defeats over the St. Mary’s Academy, the St. Martin Secondary School and the Pierre Charles Secondary School in the three previous rounds of competition, marching their way to the finals for their first time. The Orion Academy is the reigning debate champion from the 2024 installment of the competition and as such entered this year’s series in Round 2, so far beating the Wesley High School and the Portsmouth Secondary School to land themselves once more in the finals. These two schools, both highly competitive, will argue a very topical issue at the finals. The topic up for debate will be “Introducing stricter penalties for causing death by dangerous driving would effectively reduce vehicular fatalities in Dominica.” The Dominica Grammar School team is coached by Mrs. Dorcus Francis-Simon, while Mrs. Abigail Woodman and Miss Adeola Xavier coach the Orion Academy team. It is anticipated to be a very interesting final debate, with the grand prize of an all expenses paid trip for four to St. Lucia up for grabs. The final debate is open to the general public and will be held at 11am on Wednesday 16th April at the Truth and Grace Fellowship Global.
