This year the public speaking competition is on Wed Aug 13 at 11.30 at school. 

Year 3 & 4 topic:  Creative Invention.  If you could invent something new, what would it be?  Tell us about it.  What is it made of?  What is it for?  How could it be used?  Who would use it?  (duration 3 mins)

Year 5 & 6 topic:  Technology.  The impact of fast moving technology on our lives and the environment is often overlooked yet it can be very significant.  Is technology moving too fast for humans to keep up with?  Choose any technology you are aware of, eg smart phones, social media, artificial intelligence, etc (duration 4 mins)

All senior students are encouraged to enter the competition.  We have asked the students who would like to enter.  If your child wants to enter, we encourage you to help and support your child to write the speech.  We will check in with your child and support them further by giving feedback and some time to practise at school.  This really is a fantastic learning opportunity for your child and we really encourage participation.
