Raising the Bar: CSDA Public Speaking Round 1<\/h4>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of attending Round 1 of the CSDA Public Speaking competition at Marist College Eastwood. It was a remarkable evening, showcasing the incredible talent, wit, and confidence of our student speakers: SarahJane Foley (Yr 7), Ahana Minocha (Yr 8), Phoebe O’Connor (Yr 9), Amber Cotter (Yr 10), Angelina Severino (Yr 11) and Sophie Murphy (Yr 11).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The level of competition was high, but our students rose to the challenge with exceptional poise. To all our participants: thank you for representing the College with such distinction. You\u2019ve made us incredibly proud.<\/p>\n

I am thrilled to announce that Sophie and Ahana have both been selected to move on to the Zone Finals this week!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Sophie and Ahana on this well-deserved achievement. Your ability to engage an audience and articulate complex ideas is truly impressive.<\/p>\n
