Despite a very disrupted year, we’ve got so many great things happening at our school.
This term in English, Year 10 students combined static images and speeches to create Flash Talks. This assessment combines two important areas of the English curriculum, speaking and knowledge of visual language. The integration of visual slides with their speeches allows our students to develop their presentation skills. The winners of the competition were outstanding speakers, showing confidence in their manner and passion for their chosen topics.
1st Kirsten Abustan – ‘Cultural Appropriation’
2nd Bella Drummond – ‘Standing Up for Maori’
3rd Catherine Lycett – ‘The Lorax is our new reality’
The other finalists: Mackenzie Wills, Lauren Pomfrett, Shuyan Liu and Abigail Boyle all delivered captivating performances as well. They are commended on their research, writing, and delivery skills.
