Debate
Night of debators at St Georges: On the 14th of July, the Senior Debate attended an evening of debators at St. Georges College. It was an evening of fruitful conversation with other debators and it had a positive public speaking energy. The guest speaker, Dr N Maraire, a successful neurologist, inspired us to strive to reach our goals.

Interhouse Debate
1st Sable, 2nd Kudu, 3rd Impala, 4th Eland. Best speaker for the juniors was Rutendo Magomo (Kudu) and the Best speaker for the seniors was Shamiso Chigadza (Sable).

Drama
This year there were 58 entries in total to the NIAA Speech and Drama Festival. The junior girls obtained 3 third grades, 14 second grades, 11 first grades. The D Block play “Doom” written and performed by the D Block girls received a well-deserved Honours grade.

The senior girls obtained 9 second grades, 17 first grades and Honours were awarded to Rugaro Songore for Improv and Bekezela Mbofana for her Prepared Speech. Special mention goes to Rufaro Songore for being named the top Peterhouse Girl performer of the festival.

Interact
The Interact Variety Show was definitely worth the amount of work we put in as a club. We had to meet deadlines which arrived earlier than expected, create documents we did not know about until the last minute and stay within the sensible restrictions which were set by the higher powers of the school, all while producing a show which we hoped people would feel was “value for their money.” However, we as a club were very satisfied with the outcome of our hard work and we thank everyone who participated and allowed the show to happen.

Leo Dance and Fun Day
This year, the Leo Club has done exceptionally well, despite the cold weather. We were able to raise $ 1 323.00 from the fun day and $ 3 633 from the dance. These were both held over the weekend of the 7th and 8th of July. Both fundraisers were a success, and we have set high standards for the incoming Leos. The dance was by far the highlight of this year’s achievements – from planning, to carrying out the tasks required. And that serves to prove that collective efforts outweigh individual ones.

MUN
On the 14th of July, the Peterhouse Model United Nations Society took part in the annual ChiMUN conference hosted by Chisipite. The seminar this year was themed "Breaking Barriers". The conference was divided into 5 different rooms: the General Assembly, Security Council, ECOSOC, Human Rights Commission and the Environmental commission. Resolutions were made from each room to combat current global issues, including protecting the rights of Women in factory setups and child marriages.

Almost all of the resolutions were passed and the debate was fruitful. Courage Kusena, Bekezela Mbofana and Michelle Mwenje were all recognised for their efforts in this conference.
