Public Speaking Competition

During Week 9 (12th - 16th September) students will be participating in our school level public speaking competition in their respective classrooms. Each speech your child gives provides a wonderful learning opportunity to prepare, practise and reflect upon their oral language progress. As students continue through school, these types of presentations are expected across many areas of the curriculum. 

At the completion of this competition three students from each class will compete in our school competition the following week. 

Whole School Public Speaking dates 

  • Week 10: Tuesday 20th September 2pm in hall - Stage 3
  • Week 10: Wednesday 21st September 2pm in hall - ES1, S1, S2

Further information regarding speech topics and timing will be sent out via compass soon.
