Parel Vallei High School learners Jemma Jacobs and Evert Reynolds have been selected for the provincial debating team to participate in the national competition in Pretoria in October. Jemma, a Grade 8 learner, has been selected for the junior Boland team, while Evert, a Grade 11 learner, will be part of the senior Boland team. This is both Jemma and Evert’s first time representing the province in debate. Their selection came after a gruelling process of debating for two weekends against learners and schools from all over the province and then another weekend of trials before the team was announced. PV celebrates their individual achievements, and the rest of the school’s teams that participated in the Boland debating league. The school’s junior team reached the top five, while the senior teams placed second and fifth.
