SCCoSS District Public Speaking
Last Thursday 24 August, students from five local schools participated in the District Public Speaking competition at Tregeagle Public School. The students were given a range of topics and presented both a prepared and impromptu speech in front of their peers, adjudicators and parent/carer audience. We were very honoured to have Dr Jenny Dowell OAM JP and Ms Amy Chapman (English - The Rivers Secondary College - Lismore High Campus) as the adjudicators and they gave students effective feedback about the power of eye contact, voice projection and depth of subject knowledge. A huge congratulations to all students who participated so confidently in the Public Speaking event. In the end, Tregeagle Public School was thrilled with our results:
1st Senior Public Speaking - Hollie M (Year 5)
1st Junior Public Speaking - Tayla M (Year 3)
2nd Junior Public Speaking - Izaak Lister (Year 3)
Hollie and Tayla will progress to the final of the Northern Rivers Public Speaking competition on Thursday 24 October (Week 3 Term 4) at Lismore City Hall. We wish them the best of luck!
