Chatterbox was great experience. I could talk about anything I wanted and it was a great time to share my personal knowledge and opinions of things. Overall it was awesome and I definitely encourage everyone to participate next year!

Chatterbox was a fantastic event which gave me and others the opportunity to make a speech about any topic which we were desired to talk about. Unlike class work, Chatterbox had no specific agenda or topic, so I thoroughly enjoyed being able to participate  because it gave me the opportunity to talk about Gibraltar to an audience.

Although it may appear stressful, Chatterbox is a fantastic event.  It allows students to give a talk about anything they like, in a low-pressure environment.  It's great to hear what others have to say as well as share your own views.  I would encourage everyone to participate in Chatterbox, even those who are nervous about speaking in public.  I can guarantee you won't regret it!

My final Chatterbox ever was an absolute blast, and easily one of my most memorable Year 12 experiences.

The atmosphere at this particular school event is always warm and positive and the support from fellow students and teachers is incredible. Whether it was my speech about Venezuela, or another's about human trafficking or anti-bullying, Chatterbox truly does give students the opportunity to... well, speak their minds!
