This trilingual speech competition was held on June 27 (Saturday) by the Sibu Independent Chinese Schools Board Association, organized by the United Board of Sarawak Independent Chinese Schools and hosted by Wong Nai Siong High School in Sibu, with 56 students from 14 schools across Sarawak participating.
This was a high-quality language event for Sarawak’s Independent Chinese Schools, gathering many talented participants. The contestants spoke eloquently and gave thought-provoking arguments, making it a summit showdown with fierce competition.
Pei Min’s trilingual debate team was coached by five teachers: Zhong Biqin, Filitina, Lyu Di, Huang Songci, and Zeng Yifeng, who guided the students together.
Principal Bei Meijiao of Pei Min expressed her delight at the team’s outstanding on-the-spot performance, demonstrating a balance of intelligence and eloquence as well as the students’ critical thinking skills, language charm, and humanistic literacy.
She stated that public speaking competitions are not only a contest of eloquence, but also an exchange of ideas and a collision of wisdom. The school’s students can naturally switch between different languages without barriers, reflecting the real results of Pei Min’s trilingual curriculum.
She hopes that students will seize the multi-language environment at Pei Min, using language as a bridge to communicate with the world. Because possessing excellent multilingual communication skills enables them to interact flexibly with people from different cultural backgrounds, broadening their international perspective, which will be an advantage for future university studies or entering the workforce.
