Lions Public Speaking Competition

Towards the end of Term Two our Year 3/4 and 5/6 students were involved in the Lions Youth Public Speaking Competition. We held our school finals in the PAC and our winners from Year 3/4 were Joseph Whelan- Brain and Casey Chandler, and from Year 5/6 were Connor Tarrant, Lewis Brown and Kiara Stephens.

The club finals were the next stage, held at the Cobram Senior Citizens Centre on Sunday the 28th of July. Our students should be very proud of their speeches, presenting to an audience of around eighty.  The students looked professional in their school uniforms.

In the Year 3/4 category, Cobram AGS scored the quinella, with Joseph Whelan-Brain coming first and Casey Chandler finishing second.

In the Year 5/6 category, Connor Tarrant took out second place. Well done to everyone who participated and congratulations to the place getters. Joesph now goes thru to the next stage, which is to be held in Yarrawonga on Sunday the 11th of August.

For the past few months I’ve been involved in the Lions Club Public Speaking competition. It has been a real honour to represent my school, Cobram AGS, in this superb competition.

We knew that it was going to be hard but we went for it and I ended up coming runner up in the competition on the 28th of July. It was very exciting and I’m super happy that I gave it a go! I must thank my friends for giving me support along the way. Also the Lions Club for organising this thrill of an adventure!

But the most important person who helped me was my teacher, Mrs. Post, she gave me the confidence I needed to do it.

Thank you

I was very nervous at first and not sure if I wanted to do it, in fact I just did it for the fun of it and experience.  I didn’t think I would even make it past the class stage let alone the Year 5/6 stage. In the end though I was happy I did, because I felt accomplished and a little bit proud.
