    Back-to-Back Greatness: 91¹ú²ú’s Helen Ziomecki Crowned World Champion at 38th Worlds

    On Saturday, April 5, 2025, 91¹ú²ú Hall’s very own Grade 12 student Helen Ziomecki was crowned overall winner of the 2025 World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships (WIDPSC), held this year in Kuala Lumpur. It was a moment of déjà vu in the best way as Helen’s win comes only one year after 91¹ú²ú’s Anna GAGE’24 brought home the trophy at the 2024 WIDPSC competition in Australia. This back-to-back win is not only a testament to the dedication and calibre of 91¹ú²ú’s debate students and coaches, but it is also an historic achievement for the school. Only three other schools in the history of the competition have had consecutive Worlds champions—and all of them have been Canadian—which is truly a testament to the deep commitment to and belief in the value of debate and public speaking in this country’s schools.

    LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
    We wish to acknowledge this land on which 91¹ú²ú operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

    *The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

    Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
