Fall Co-Curricular Events:

One Act Play (8th-12th grade):

Valwood's One Act Play team performs a complete play in less than 55 minutes competitively against other GISA schools. Student actors learn about stage presence, blocking, character, vocal techniques, and focus. Students can also be involved by being a part of the technical crew, or as a student designer. This year, the play is Fearful Symmetry by Alan Haehnel. Auditions will be held on August 19th and August 20th. Rehearsals will begin the week of August 24th.

Debate (8th-12th grade):

Valwood's varsity debate team competes against other schools in two-person policy debate teams. Debaters learn the ins and outs of crafting meaningful arguments, presenting their statements, and finding ways to outthink the competition. Students learn to present themselves professionally and how to think under pressure. This year's topic: "The United States federal government should substantially increase social services for persons living in poverty in the United States."
