IPSHA Speakers’ Challenge

On Monday 14 October, two of our Primary students in Year 6, Eva Geha and Klemintine Chylek, proudly represented SCEGGS in our very first appearance at the IPSHA Speakers’ Challenge, held at Macarthur Anglican College, Cobbitty.

This year’s theme, Unexpected, invited participants to think creatively and critically, exploring ideas and moments that surprise, inspire, or challenge our expectations. Eva and Klemintine rose to the occasion, delivering powerful and engaging speeches that reflected the value we place on Oracy in the Primary School. A special congratulations to Eva, who was selected as a finalist, one of only eight chosen from a field of approximately 60 participants.

Speaking before an audience and connecting with peers from other schools provided a wonderful opportunity for the girls to grow in confidence and skill. We are immensely proud of both Eva and Klemintine for representing SCEGGS with such confidence and enthusiasm. This experience marks the beginning of what we hope will become a lasting tradition of participation in the IPSHA Speakers’ Challenge.
