26 May Speak Out Challenge 2017
Speak Out Challenge 2017
On the 7th March, a number of Year 10 students took part in a public speaking workshop organised by the Speakers Trust. The aim of the day focussed on the three key areas associated with this important life skill: content, structure and delivery. The students each produced a one-minute speech on a subject of their choice, which they performed at the end of the day in front of the whole group.
Joe McKay and Ebony Knight were selected to represent the school at the regional finals of the Jack Petchy Speak Out Challenge, held at Robert Clack on 2nd May. The competition was intense and the quality of the speeches high. Joe’s speech was entitled “The pencils” and was about the importance of appreciating what we have. Joe was inspired to write his speech following his experience in Nicaragua last year. Ebony’s speech explored the idea of society’s addiction to personal appearance. The students did tremendously well and were unfortunate to miss out on a top three placing.
