Year 7 Public Speaking Finals

Exceptional Speakers from Year 7

On Monday 7 August the finals of the Year 7 Public Speaking Competition were held. The eight speakers chosen from the early rounds of class and year level speeches performed exceptionally well, delivering articulate, original and persuasive speeches. The judges and audience were impressed by the confidence of our speakers and by the wide range of interesting topics: we heard passionate opinions about issues from the lost language of Esperanto to bicycle registration laws.
