Celebrating Student Achievement
Emmanuel College participated in the recent Rotary Wynspeak Public Speaking Competition, hosted at Good News Lutheran College with Notre Dame Campus students—Kiara, Samuel, Samuel, and Sharon, representing the College proudly. This event provided an excellent platform for secondary students to showcase their communication skills in a supportive and inspiring environment. We congratulate all four for their outstanding efforts and commendable performances on the night. A special congratulations to Kiara, who impressed the judges with her powerful and engaging address, winning the Junior Prepared Speeches category. Kiara will now advance to the Wynspeak Finals in June, to compete against students from schools across Wyndham and Hobsons Bay.
