In Term 2, all Year 7 students in their English classes focus on persuasive writing and speaking. Each student wrote are persuasive speech about their chosen topic and presents it to their class. This year we asked each English teacher to nominate their best speaker to enter the Waterford Public Speaking Competition.

The following students are to be congratulated for representing their Homeroom:

7B – Luke M

7C – Xander R

7D – Liam S

7E – Jacob Y

7F – Cruz J

7G – Bailey W

7H – Joshua W

7I – Hunter S

7J – Tome L

7K – Harlen L

On Monday 6 of June, we welcomed family, friends and supportive teachers to the PAC to watch the finalists. It was a fierce competition with each representative speaking passionately about their topic and impressing the audience and judge. All of the competitors should be very proud of the research, writing skills and effort they put into preparing for the competition. Luke M from 7B was declared the best Waterford Public speaker for 2023. He has had his name etched in the perpetual trophy and will be presented with a gift voucher at our up and coming Waterford Assembly. Well done Luke and we look forward to another persuasive battle next year.
