Year 11 Public Speaking Competition

On Wednesday, nine Year 11 students proudly represented their houses in the final of the Public Speaking Competition. The theme for each speech was ‘inspire’ and students provided a diverse range of responses. Some spoke in general about what it means to be inspired or to inspire others, while others recognised specific individuals in their lives that gave them the motivation to be the best they could be. It was great to listen to the depth of their thinking and the confidence in which all students presented. The speeches were of exceptionally high quality and it was difficult to determine a winner, as they were all unique and special in their own ways.

Congratulations to all participants: Cosi Winter, Carys Mahoney, Chris Carde, Noah Beasley, Astrid Williams, Alex Jose, Connor Dines, Tanushi Nath and Holly Ubrihien.

Overall, Mumba took out the top points in the competition and the individual results were as follows:

1. Noah Beasley
2. Astrid Williams
3. Cosi Winter

We thank Mrs Tina Cox, Ms Jasmin Steven and Bailey Corneal as the Academic Pacific Action Group Captain, for their organisation of this event, along with the support of the Year 11 English teachers. Well done to all.
