فقد أحرزت كلية خالد بن الوليد المركز الثاني وليسيه المقاصد خديجة الكبرى المركز الثالث على مستوى لبنان، بعد أداءٍ متميّز عكس قدرات عالية في التفكير النقدي، وبناء الحجج، ومهارات الإقناع والحوار.

كما برز عدد من تلامذتنا ضمن قائمة أفضل عشرة متحدّثين في البطولة، حيث نال:

• خالد نعمة (كلية خالد بن الوليد - المركز الثالث)
• فرح خالد (ليسيه المقاصد خديجة الكبرى - المركز الرابع)
• مها أورفه لي (كلية خالد بن الوليد - المركز الخامس)
• سابين الحاج موسى (كلية خالد بن الوليد - المركز السادس)
• مازن قطنجي (ليسيه المقاصد خديجة الكبرى - المركز العاشر)

كما يسرّنا أن نهنئ خريجة ليسيه المقاصد خديجة الكبرى بيان الكردي على تحقيقها المركز الأول ولقب أفضل متحدّثة في بطولة مناظرات الجامعات، في إنجاز مشرّف يعكس تميّزها واجتهادها ويجعلها مصدر فخر لمدرستها ونموذجًا يُحتذى به في الطموح والنجاح.

كما تألّقت الطالبة لطيفة يموت من كلية علي بن أبي طالب بحصولها على لقب "أفضل متحدّث/متحدّثة"، تقديرًا لتميّزها في طلاقة التعبير، وقوّة الحجّة، والثقة بالنفس، وتمكّنها من عرض الأفكار بأسلوبٍ واضحٍ ومقنع.

إن هذه الإنجازات المشرّفة هي ثمرة الجهد المتواصل والتدريب الجاد، وهي دليلٌ على قدرة تلامذة المقاصد على التميّز والمنافسة على أعلى المستويات الوطنية.

ألف مبروك لطلابنا الأعزاء، كلّ الشكر والتقدير للمدرّبين والمشرفين، مع تمنّياتنا بمزيدٍ من النجاح والتألّق في المحافل القادمة.
