Year 7/8 Speech Competition

The zone competition hosted by Beckenham School on Tuesday, 8th September, saw a number of strong speakers present from Cashmere, Hillview Christain, St Peters, Beckenham and St Martins.  In the end, Louie H. was awarded 1st place in the Year 7 category and Paris T. placed 3rd in the Year 8 category.  This means that St Martins School has placed in both categories since the inaugural event 3 years ago.  Well done Year 7/8, we are so proud of your efforts!
