At Open Gates International School, we champion dialogue, critical thinking, and the respectful exchange of ideas. These values were beautifully demonstrated during a special debate held between our old students and new students — a powerful moment of connection, reflection, and shared learning.
The event created a dynamic platform where seasoned students brought their experience and institutional knowledge, while newcomers contributed with fresh perspectives and vibrant curiosity. Both teams engaged thoughtfully on key topics related to school life, student responsibilities, and the future of education.
What made this debate unique was not only the strength of the arguments but also the mutual respect and open-mindedness each speaker showed. It was a true display of intellectual maturity and leadership.
By organizing such intergenerational activities, Open Gates continues to promote inclusion, integration, and mentorship among students. We believe that when generations of learners come together, they enrich one another and build a stronger, more united school community.
We applaud all participants for their eloquence, confidence, and courage. This was more than a competition — it was a celebration of the power of words, ideas, and youth leadership.
