Inter-school Speak Up Competition

On Wednesday 21 June, Santa Sabina hosted the Term 2 Speak Up competition. The Gioia House Speak Up Team competed with St Ignatius College Riverview. The students were committed to attending each Speak Up session each week and had a choice of five different speech topics. The girls worked hard to prepare their speeches and present them at the competition. 

Thank you to Mrs Anne Roberts, who was our adjudicator on the night. Mrs Roberts had a difficult task to award two Highly Commended students and one overall winner. Thank you to Eva Rose Youssef for being our timekeeper at the competition. 

The girls should all be proud of their commitment to their Speak Up co-curricular sessions, developing their public speaking skills and demonstrating courage in writing and delivering engaging speeches.

Congratulations to the Term 2 Speak Up team:
