Year 7 Public Speaking Competition

Eight finalists took part in the hotly contested Year 7 Public Speaking Competition recently, to a packed audience of pupils, parents and our guest adjudicator (and school governor), Richard Redwood from Canford. Each pupil had to present a two-minute speech on a charity of their choice, with the top three charities being selected as our designated school charities for the forthcoming year. Very well done to all the pupils who took part, but especially to runners up George K (in support of Shelter) and Oscar W-A (in support of Dogs of Portugal), and to overall winner Arthur V, whose speech about Great Ormond Street Hospital was praised for being poised, eloquent and extremely well presented. Very well done to you all and we look forward to supporting these three charities in due course.
