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.
Josephine Gabriel & Co. Ltd, Insurance Company of the West Indies, the National Cooperative Credit Union, Lindo Mart, Dominica News Online, Freeman Consulting LLC, Fort Young Hotel and DBS Radio are the major sponsors of the finals of the Inter-Secondary Schools Debating Competition.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
