In Term 2, all Year 7 students in their English classes focus on persuasive writing and speaking. Each student wrote a persuasive speech about their chosen topic and presented it to their class. English teachers then nominate their best speaker to enter the Waterford Public Speaking Competition.

On Friday 16th 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.
Sam Rayson from 7J 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. Thank you to Laura Gordon and Michelle McRae for being our judges. Well done Sam and we look forward to another persuasive battle next year.
