Orator's Club

CCA Information

This CCA caters to students who aspire to become confident orators and skilled debaters. Students are trained in three key disciplines — speaking, writing, and debating — through engaging and interactive activities. They are equipped with essential skills in effective communication, critical thinking, and artistic expression through the English Language. Through regular practice and collaborative learning experiences, students develop confidence, eloquence, and the ability to express their ideas clearly and persuasively in both formal and everyday settings.

Developing Speaking and Debating Skills

Students develop and apply a wide range of public speaking and debating skills through engaging and interactive training sessions. They learn to think critically, organise their ideas effectively, and respond confidently to unexpected arguments with poise and clarity. Through regular practice, students grow in confidence as articulate communicators who are able to express their viewpoints persuasively and respectfully.

Nurturing Character and Teamwork

The CCA also emphasises character development and teamwork. Students are expected to demonstrate responsibility towards the club by being self-disciplined, focused, and committed during training sessions. They learn to respect differing perspectives, show empathy towards fellow members, and collaborate effectively with their teammates.

Each session includes mini-debates where students spar in teams of three or four, providing authentic opportunities to sharpen their reasoning, rebuttal, and delivery skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. Through these experiences, students develop resilience, quick thinking, and the confidence to communicate effectively both on stage
