Twelve students from four local primary schools – Grahamstown Public, Seaham Public, Raymond Terrace Public and St Brigid’s – took part in the informal competition.

“Parents and friends were thoroughly entertained by each child’s topic and speaking style,” said event coordinator Neil Goldthorpe.

“It was a very high standard of speeches from eight young students in Stage 2 (years 3 and 4) and four students from Stage 3 (years 5 and 6).”

Judges voted Harry Sharman as the Stage 2 winner, while Neve Redman topped the Stage 3 category.

Both took home a small trophy.

“It is such an important skill that develops confidence in speaking to public groups,” said Mr Goldthorpe.
