VMDC Season 4 has officially come to an end with countless unforgettable moments, and True North International School would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all TNIS teams who joined this year’s tournament:
A special congratulations goes to TNIS Fermented Penguins — Nguyen Duc Minh, Truong Tue Lam, Hoang Ngoc Cam, and Le Xuan Nguyen — for successfully breaking into the Break Round!
The fierce competitive spirit, perseverance, and relentless effort shown by our TNISers throughout every round are what truly make us proud. Each debate was a meaningful experience, every argument marked a step forward in growth. These are exactly the core values that VMDC brings to young debaters.
We wish all TNIS teams will continue to keep their passion for debate burning strong, stay committed to improving, and come back even stronger in the next seasons, ready to aim higher and achieve even greater results!
