Public Speaking & Debating
Public Speaking & Debating
Public speaking and debating develops students' oral and written communication skills, research and teamwork skills. Through public speaking and debating, students engage in the artistry of oratory, learn to effectively present a point of view and also develop in confidence.
There are a number of opportunities for students from Years 7 to 12 to be involved in public speaking and debating, both within the College and external to the College.
