A school is celebrating after topping a debate competition in two categories.

Gosport's Bay House School claimed victory in both the senior and intermediate categories of the Youth Speaks group round.

The event was organised by Fareham Rotary and the Rotary Club of Portsmouth and Southsea.

The senior team won with a debate on "We should be encouraging the normalisation of beauty enhancement," while the intermediates clinched their victory with "Homework Doesn’t Suit the Needs of Society."

The competition, held at Mayville High School, Portsmouth, saw participation from Hayling College, Mayville High School, Crofton School, and Boundary Oak, alongside Bay House School.

The contest was judged by the Rotary Clubs sponsoring the event.

Commending the quality of all presentations, the judges admitted to the difficulty in determining the winners.

All participating teams received certificates, and the winners were awarded a gift voucher and a cup.

The triumphant teams will now advance to the final district round on March 30 at Mountbatten School, Ramsey.
