Five students in red jackets and light pants pose on stage, some holding folders and notebooks.

Bound together by our shared love for the English language, the English Literary, Debating and Dramatic Society (ELDDS) is a family that cultivates the appreciation of the arts. We provide students with meaningful platforms to express themselves, grow in confidence, and develop their talents. Our community values creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Above all, ELDDS is a supportive space where members learn and thrive together.

Four students in white-and-red uniforms pose with books on a stage against a black backdrop.

Our three wings each focus on a different form of expression: the Literary wing for those interested in creative or journalistic writing; Drama for students who want to showcase their acting skills or work behind the scenes; and Debate for those fascinated by passionate, fast-paced exchanges of ideas and keen to hone their speaking skills.

Five young adults pose on boxes; one holds flute, one wears tiara, one holds basketball; cones on floor.

Beyond training, ELDDS participates in national competitions and organises events such as Lit Evening and Dramafest. These experiences allow members to showcase their skills and celebrate the arts together. Interested in one or more of these wings? Join the family today — Excelsior! Ars gratia artis.
