Lions Public Speaking Comp

Last week we hosted one of the Lions Public Speaking finals. We had 3 students participating and they all spoke outstandingly. Lily, Marley and JZ should be extremely proud of themselves. Huge congrats to JZ who won the senior competition after delivering 2 memorable speeches. Super effort!

Big thanks to Patsy and her support crew from the Lions Club who gave our school the opportunity to participate in this competition. What a great way for our students to develop their public speaking skills.

Congratulations to Sammy, one of our year 4 students who was a finalist in the Pawsome Stories competition. Sammy wrote a non fiction piece based on the topic ‘How animals make our lives better’. Sammy got to go to the RSPCA and be a part of the awards ceremony. What a great experience for her! 

Well done Sammy. We are super proud of you!
