Speaking 4 the Planet Competition 2024

This year on World Environment Day, 5 June 2024, Climate Action Burwood-Canada Bay organised Speaking 4 The Planet, a climate awareness-raising competition for secondary schools in the local area. Some of the boys from the Social Justice Action Group and keen volunteers from Year 11 went to Domremy College in Five Dock to participate – this year’s theme was Journey to a Greener Future. The competition is in its second year and had more participants than last year and is still hoping to see even more people next year. We were delighted to see so many boys so eager to participate and raise awareness. Boys completed some writing pieces, a speech, digital and physical art, and a drama piece. We had great results with our Drama group, who placed first out of the 10 other schools that participated, as well as Luka Raspudic from Year 11 who came third with his writing piece about Journey to a Greener Future (read below). Congratulations to all the boys who put in the effort to raise awareness for a greener future for all.
