Public Speaking

Our students in Stage 2 - Brody, Saisha and Abigail and Stage 3 - Evie, Rebecca and Niamh represented our school exceptionally at the Inter-school Public Speaking Competition in Week 1.

They presented their prepared speeches and then were asked to present an impromptu speech after twenty minutes of planning time. It was a privilege to watch them shine and grow in confidence as they represented our school with pride.

We are thrilled to announce that Evie M (Year 5) was the overall winner in the Stage 3 Interschools Competition, what a fantastic achievement.
