Parel Vallei High School’s Evert Reynolds (Grade 11) and Jemma Jacobs (Grade 8) have been selected for the provincial debating team to go through to nationals. This will take place in Pretoria in October this year.

Jemma has been selected for the junior team and Evert for the senior team. This is both Jemma and Evert’s first time representing their province for debating. This came at the end of a gruelling process of debating for 2 weekends against learners and schools from all over the province. And then another weekend of trials before the team was announced.

Parel Vallei celebrates these individual achievements, but also the school’s teams that took part in the Boland debating league. PV’s junior team reached the top 5 and their 2 senior teams were placed 2^nd and 5^th.
