Public Speaking

The State Final of Rostrum Voice of Youth was held on Saturday afternoon June 12. SCEGGS finalists Nicola Allen (Senior Division) and Catherine Park (Junior Division). After winning the Regional Final the girls had two weeks to write a new speech for the final round.

Nicola chose to speak about rethinking the way school education is delivered with a focus on happiness with Catherine reminding us to check our bias for the ‘beautiful’ and embrace diversity.

Both girls faced a strong field of speakers but swept the pool winning both divisions!

They will now contest the National Final in Adelaide next month.

Congratulations girls and good luck for the Nationals.
