Faith Speaks: Years 4–9 Public Speaking Competition Results

Faith Public Speaking Competition

This week, we proudly held the inaugural Faith Public Speaking Competition, with students from both the Junior and Intermediate Divisions rising to the challenge of sharing their ideas and inspiring others through public speaking.

On 31 August, students in the Junior Division (Years 4–6) competed, followed by the Intermediate Division (Years 7–9) on 1 September. Students selected from four topics within their division and prepared and delivered their speeches to an audience and panel of adjudicators.

Congratulations to all of our students who participated! Each student demonstrated courage, preparation and a willingness to step outside their comfort zone. We are especially proud of the way our students confidently shared their thoughts and inspiring messages.
