On the 29th of April, Stratford College welcomed The High School for a debate between the junior teams on the motion ‘Artificial Intelligence is a force for Global Good’. The Junior team, captained by Cian, argued the proposition, with teammates Jack, Robert and Anastasiia focusing on the fact that AI is neither good nor bad in and of itself; it is a tool, and it is up to use how we use it.
Both teams argued with great conviction and excellent rebuttals. The debate club would like to especially thank Anna Coakley for coming in to speak with the team and the TYs, about her experience working with AI in industry, and helping them with their research. Thanks to The High School Junior Debate Coordinator Jane White for agreeing to the debate, we’re looking forward to more next year!

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
