A world of words competition

For Years 5-6, the topic “strange world records set in history” will have students exploring the wonders of world records, sharing their opinions on the topics while immersing themselves in fact-based public speaking.

Throughout Education Week students will be working on their speeches in class time then on Tuesday, May 23, they will go up against other students from other schools while delivering their speeches to an official judging panel.

There will be two to three students from each year level picked to then represent at a state level.

“Our young students have an abundance of enthusiasm and self-confidence, and the program is aimed to build on that base before students reach their teenage years,” Principal Wes Teague said.

“This is a great way to promote and celebrate literacy within our school, on what marks an important week in education.”
