Primary School Public Speaking Competition 2017
Our 20th Primary School Primary School Public Speaking Competition saw 18 students repesenting 9 schools from Nar Nar Goon, Officer and Pakenham present their speeches on a wide range of interesting and complex topics to an audience of around 80. Once again the quality was outstanding and judges Lyn Bunce, Helen van Diemen and Barry Morris, had an extremely difficult task. Scores were so close it took scorer Des Wynne quite a while to finalise the winners.
Champion Speaker: Kaylan Deane, St. James Catholic Primary School. Topic: “Lies Told at School”
1st Runner Up: Yowanii Kaedo, Pakenham Springs Primary School. Topic: “Raising Hope”
2nd Runner Up: Milie Paterson, Beaconhills College. Topic: “The Day has Come.”
President’s Award: Mitch Rook, Officer Primary School. Topic: “The Real Heroes”
Chairman’s Award: Kiana Angus, Beaconhills College. Topic: The Problem with Kids Today”
Encouragement Award: Sophie Pinkerton, Beaconhills College. Topic: “My Hero”
All students were excellent and once again their choice of topics was amazing. We heard about all sorts of things including: Coral Bleaching, Animal Cruelty, Lost Cities of the Modern World, Same Sex Marriage and Nostradamus’s Forgotten Prediction.
Feedback from teachers, parents and students was outstanding. Thanks to all who assisted and attended.
