This August, a team of bright and hopeful students represented Kuwait in the World School Debating Championships 2011 in Dundee, Scotland. The five strong team included Hiba Arshad, Amber-Marie Loutfi and Bandeep Kaur from The British School of Kuwait.

The team triumphed in three debates against Serbia, Slovakia and most notably the USA whilst they lost on a split decision vote against India and Peru. Team member Hiba Arshad received the best speaker ranking of number 18 amongst the English as a Second Language (ESL) countries.

Bandeep Kaur is now studying Medicine at McMaster University in Canada while Amber and Hiba are Senior Prefects at BSK. In October 2011, Amber received a conditional offer to study Politics at the University of Liverpool.
