Southern Region Public Speaking
I had the pleasure this week of assisting students competing in the Southern Region Public Speaking competition. Held virtually again this year, the level of competition was particularly high and our St Mary’s students did an excellent job when presenting. Feedback from judges was very positive for all students. A special mention to Betty D (Year 5) who received a Highly Commended from the judges. Thank you to all who were involved in the students' preparation. It was evident that the support they received was invaluable on the day.
Our representatives were:
Year 3 - Tessa H and Ollie A
Year 4 - Sophie A and Lila W
Year 5 - Betty D B and Grace R
Year 6 - Morgan D and Samira R
Congratulations to Tessa H (Year 3) and Lila W (Year 4) who were both runners up in their age divisions. Congratulations to Grace R (Year 5) who was the winner of her age group. These girls will go on now to compete in the Archdiocesan Public Speaking Finals in October.
