Public Speaking News

On 20 October, Sienna Kang (Year 9) proudly represented MSCW in the annual Drummoyne Electorate Bear Pit Public Speaking Competition, held at NSW Parliament.

Sienna chose to explore the topic, ‘Social media: bringing us closer or pushing us apart?’ In her speech, she argued that social media offers significant benefits for adolescents. Sienna highlighted its role in fostering connection, providing opportunities, and supporting education. She also emphasised the importance of implementing guidelines to ensure its responsible use among young people.

Sienna is to be commended for her outstanding preparation as she delivered a memorised speech and for the confidence she demonstrated throughout the competition.
