On Tuesday morning we had the syndicate speech competition. One Year 7 and one Year 8 student represented each class. Ben and Fergus did a fantastic job for Room 18.
Ben spoke about the importance of imagination and compared it to knowledge. He made reference to a number of famous Albert Einstein quotes that purport imagination as having greater importance. Ben was imaginative, energetic and entertaining. His enthusiasm in front of an audience was, in my mind, unsurpassed.
Fergus opened our eyes to the horrors of 'not washing your hands after going to the toilet'. His speech was both informative and humorous. As the only boy in the Year 8 category, I personally believe he was a stand out!
Congratulations must go to Lilly and Sophia of Room 23, who claimed both the Year 7 and Year 8 categories, and are therefore through to the Rotary Speech Competition.
You are all invited to support Lilly and Sophia on the evening as they are representing our wonderful syndicate and our school!
There are four other schools who are entering the competition: Beckhenham, Opawa, St Peters and Hillview. It is sure to be a fantastic evening - showcasing some of our best up-and-coming local speakers.
