Dear All,
The Debate Association is pleased to announce that registration for the Debate Luminary Series is now open!
The Debate Luminary Series is an 8 week program where ex-World Schools debaters will be invited to speak with you on various topics related to debating. Each week feature a different topic – ranging from discussions on current global issues to adjudication. These speakers will also be sharing their debating experience with you and would be happy to field any questions that you might have for them.
These sessions will take place on Saturday morning from 10am to 1pm. Light refreshments will be provided. The first session is tentatively slated to start on 4 September 2010. Please note that this schedule is subject to change depending on the availability of our guest speakers.
As space is limited to 30 participants, we are unfortunately unable to accept everyone for the Seminar. We will consider your application based on the strength of your debating record and will get back to you as soon possible. Registration will close on Friday, 20 August 2010 and a small fee of $50 will be payable at the first session.
Please send all applications and direct any queries to teckwee@debates.org.sg. Do register with us early to avoid disappointment!

Dear Students, Coaches and Teachers,
The DA(S) June Camp 2010 has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Do not fret, however, for we will announce details of the next scheduled debate training camp via e-mail and this website once they have been finalised. Watch this space!
Dear Students, Coaches and Teachers,
The Debate Association (Singapore) is happy to announce that we will be conducting a two and a half day debate camp from Friday 18 June to Sunday 20 June 2010. The Camp will start at 9 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 1.30pm on Sunday and end at 5 p.m. for all 3 days.
The camp will target secondary school students who have no or little debating experience and are looking to be introduced to debates. Through the camp, we aim to:
* Introduce to participants debating and public speaking skills;
* Reinforce their argumentative, and thinking skills;
* Enrich young debaters through interaction with former national and international speakers who can be role models for their younger counterparts;
* Allow young debaters to network with like-minded students, and cultivate a strong debating fraternity within their age group.
The cost fee for the camp is S$100 per participant and covers administrative costs, training materials and lunch for Friday and Saturday.
The deadline for application is 12 June 2010. Should you have any queries, please feel free to email Jun Yi at junyi@debates.org.sg. Details on the programme will be distributed once students’ participation is finalized. We will also inform you of the venue by 5 June 2010.

DA(S) will be holding a full-day adjudicator training session on Saturday Jan 16th at Tampines Junior College (2 Tampines Avenue 9, Singapore 529564). The training session will begin at 10 am and end at 5pm. There will be a one-hour break for lunch, but lunch will not be provided for participants.
The training will be provided free of charge and all trainees will receive a certificate of completion. All trainees must volunteer to shadow adjudicate the prelim rounds at the SSDC2010 in order to receive the certificate of completion and be considered for future adjudication opportunities [exceptions will be granted on a case-by-case basis only]. The shadowing is compulsory, as a theoretical knowledge of adjudication is insufficient unless complemented with real-world training and shadowing of senior adjudicators.
If you would like to register for the camp, please fill in the form below. As capacity for the camp is limited by the number of senior adjudicators available, we encourage all interested participants to sign up early.
