Our students make a mark at the debate tournament
Xaloc has once again participated in TDXperience, a debate tournament that brings together different schools from Barcelona, and provides our students with the opportunity to meet new people, experience a different adventure, and learn a multitude of strategies to become great debaters. In this case, we had a group of 4th-year students from ESO, including Pol Taboada, Daniel Pastor, Víctor Villa, Josep Aguilera, and David Peñalver, and a group of Bachillerato students, including Iván Martínez, Lucas Castilla, Álvaro Ramírez, Víctor García, and Pol Rengel.
The group of 4th-year students achieved the feat of defeating the eventual tournament champion, Loreto Abad Oliva, in the preliminary round. Our students performed exceptionally well in their first participation, although they did not qualify for the knockout rounds. In contrast, the Bachillerato group did surpass that preliminary phase, even reaching the semifinals and falling in a highly contested match against their Pineda schoolmates. It was an emotionally charged derby, and both teams displayed a high level of skill.
The students were satisfied and happy with the experience. They represented Xaloc with commendable elegance, formality, and preparation. The different schools and debate organizers praised the behavior and attitude of our students, and we wish them more luck in future participation.
