Year 8 English Public Speaking

This week, Mr Quilty's Year 8 English class have completed a Public Speaking Showcase as part of their Poetry from Around the World unit. The class wrote and performed a 3 minute speech in response to Maya Angelou's poem "Caged Bird" and were asked to make links between the poem and real world issues. All students produced outstanding work, with the six pictured being given recognition in six unique categories. Congratulations to Ethan Auer, Sebastian Blane, Samuel Cooper, Isaac Donlevy, Anthony Parissis and Christo Playle.
