Our debaters did well in both the English and Hindi Debates and qualified through the preliminary round of each. Mansi Pathak (XII-A) and Smriti Kesarwani (XII-A) represented the school in the English Debate. Yashasvi Devvanshi (XII-A) and Shree Kesarwani (XI-A) represented it in the Hindi Debate.

Students from Classes VII to XII took part. Many of them practised for weeks alongside their regular studies, and they were disciplined and well prepared throughout.

We sincerely thank Mr. Shubojeet Bose and Ms. Anamika Chatterjee, who trained the students and accompanied the team to St. Joseph’s College on both days. Their guidance and hard work were central to the team’s success. We also thank St. Joseph’s College for organising a well-run and welcoming festival.

The Saint John’s Academy family congratulates all the prize winners and every participant on a fine showing at Josephest 2026.
