Congratulations to two of our Year 12 students who were awarded second and third place in the Soroptimist International 38th Annual Public Speaking Competition which was held in Saintfield High School. The student who was awarded second place delivered a speech titled “To bee or not to bee”, about the importance of bees in the world. She was commended for her use of comic timing and her excellent delivery. The third place speech was “Experience is the teacher of all things!” She was complimented on the content and her use of humour.
The aims of event were: to encourage girls to play a more prominent part in public life, to improve the art of communication, to encourage girls to develop the skill to speak effectively, to articulate with clarity and to develop self-confidence and personality.
Well done to both students!
