Honsbridge has always played a leading part in improving the standard of English in Malaysia by teaching our students the Cambridge O Level/IGCSE syllabus – English being the world’s language. Since 2009, Honsbridge students have achieved As and Bs in their English O Level exams and have attained awards at International Debate Competition e.g. the World Scholar’s Cup. Over 200 students at Honsbridge have attended debate training sessions held in complimentary annually in order to compete in debate competition with all schools from different countries.
The Honsbridge debate training sessions have proven so successful to develop Honsbridge students to become more confident in public speaking and become winners at the competition since 2010, that it was time for the Honsbridge Interschool Debate Challenge to be organised on the 23 & 24 Aug 2014. This is to let more students outside of Honsbridge Training to benefit from the joy of Debate at affordable fees as well as to attend the fun learning debate workshops, conducted by David Butler of Honsbridge, an experienced and respected Debate Coach since 2010.
