The Invitation

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the TAISI Billabong Debate, organised in collaboration with Billabong High International School, Bhopal.

This inaugural edition aims to lay the foundation for a strong debating culture — one that encourages students to question, explore, and lead with conviction and responsibility. The competition will follow a modified WSDC (World Schools Debating Championship) format, chosen for its balance of structure and analytical thinking.

Through this initiative, we hope to cultivate a generation of debaters who argue not merely for victory, but for impact — grounded in clarity of thought, reasoned argumentation, and eloquence. This event marks the beginning of a long-term vision to promote meaningful, respectful, and well-structured debate among young thinkers across our member schools.

We warmly invite your school to nominate teams and be part of this growing community of confident, articulate student voices.
