Public Speaking News – Ms Susan Kamp
This year a selection of OLM students participated in the Sydney Catholic Schools Public Speaking Competition, held at Bethany College on Friday 28th February. The event involves over 75 high schools across the Greater Sydney Area and this year, more than 5oo students entered.
Students are required to compose a thought- provoking and original speech from a list of topics and deliver their speech to a small audience of adults and students with confidence and eloquence.
Some of the popular topics were:
- From a distance
- Masquerade
- For everyone here a seat at the table
- Crisis? What crisis?

Our Round 1 participating students, who all performed admirably in their specific age group were:
| Year 7 Poppy Doyle Brigita Fredotovic Chelsea Zammit |
Year 8 Emma Broadhurst Sienna Lauro |
| Year 9 Kayla Hill Charlie Doyle |
Year 10 Anna Govindrulu |



Thank you to all of the OLM parents who attended and supported the event.
