Public Speaking

Congratulations to Jessica Gallie (Year 9) who competed in the Rostrum Voice of Youth State Final on the weekend and placed third. Jessica has given countless hours preparing and competing in this year’s competition and it is an outstanding result. She prepared two speeches; her speech in the first round was on the subject “Building Bridges” and her speech for the State Final was on “A New Chapter”. Both speeches were entertaining, engaging and well researched and she delivered them with precision. She also presented two impromptu speeches in the second and third round of the competition which, again, were outstanding. 

Well done Jessica, thank you for your effort and for representing the school so well. Thank you also to Eva Ancher (Year 9), Marnie Flett (Year 9), Elspeth Herbert (Year 9) and Sarah Yun (Year 7) and their families for coming to support Jessica in the competition.
