Over the course of the term the Senior School has been working hard as all nine classes have shared a focus on speech writing.
Making speeches offers mixed reactions from students to begin with. We have the learners that are terrified of the word “speech” and we have learners that thrive on getting up in front of their peers and delivering something great!
Our goal is to have all students get up there and give it a go. This is seen as a very important topic as the skills they learn will be valuable during their intermediate years and beyond.
It is always a highlight when you see a student who was once a little nervous about speaking and then they deliver a riveting speech that has the class focussed and intrigued.
Congratulations to all the Year 5 and 6 learners who stepped out of their comfort zone!
