• Being able to communicate effectively is a key to success in our society
• Every participant will feel the satisfaction of communicating with a live audience
• Obtain experience in preparing and delivering oral communication
• Build your self confidence not just for public speaking but also for interviews
• It is a valuable experience
• Some will win Regional, State or even National prizes, but everyone receives the greatest reward – EXPERIENCE – ( and a certificate to add to your CV)

WHY SHOULD OUR SCHOOL TAKE PART?

• To give our Students the opportunity to benchmark against students from other schools
• Ensuring that we are developing our students to the highest standards by competing in the premier national speaking competition for school age students
• The chance to boast a winner of a regional, state, or even national competition
• An opportunity to network with your peers from other schools

So if you are either a student who is interested in the experience of a lifetime or a Teacher looking for ways to enthuse your students in public speaking why not consider getting involved. Contact your local coordinator or just submit an on line application.
